Over the recent weeks here at Hackaday, we’ve been taking a look at the humble transistor. In a series whose impetus came from a friend musing upon his students arriving with highly developed ...

In previous parts of this series we reviewed the basic transistor parameters that determine ac voltage gain and practical considerations limiting high gain. The role of a coupling capacitor was ...

If you ever work with a circuit that controls a decent amount of current, you will often encounter a FET – a Field-Effect Transistor. Whether you want to control a couple of powerful LEDs, switch a ...

This application note describes the basic characteristics and operating performance of IGBTs. It is intended to give the reader a thorough background on the device technology behind IXYS IGBTs. The ...

Almost all computer chips use two types of transistors: one called p-type, for positive, and one called n-type, for negative. Improving the performance of the chip as a whole requires parallel ...

The chipmaker plans to unveil more details behind its Tri-Gate transistor, an experimental circuit that could be important in the company's quest to keep up with Moore's Law. Michael Kanellos is ...
