The invention of the transistor in 1947 by Shockley, Bardeen and Brattain at Bell Laboratories ushered in the age of microelectronics and revolutionized our lives. First, so-called bipolar transistors ...

Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) have become pivotal components in modern power electronic systems, blending the high input impedance and fast switching capabilities of MOSFETs with the high ...

New technical paper titled “Organic bipolar transistors” from researchers at Technische Universität Dresden, NanoP, Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen, University of Applied Science, and ALBA ...

Diodes has expanded its series of automotive-compliant bipolar transistors with 12 NPN and PNP devices designed to achieve ultra-low V CE(sat). With a saturation voltage of just 17 mV at 1 A and ...

The company’s first bipolar transistors in its miniature PowerDI5 surface-mount package are designed on a fifth-generation matrix emitter process, yielding a range of 12 NPN and PNP transistors with a ...

An SCR topology transmogrifies into BJT two-wire precision current source with a self-resetting fault-current limiter.

When starting a new electronics project today, one of the first things that we tend to do is pick the integrated circuits that make up the core of the design. This can be anything from a ...

FETs are mono-polar transistors. The current passing from drain to source doesn’t cross a P-N junction, as in a bipolar transistor. Because of this, the parts are resistive when you turn them on with ...

Reliable versatile analog transistor targets More Than Moore applications bringing differential advantage for smart sensors, ...

A transistor is a tiny but powerful electronic component that acts like a switch or an amplifier. It is made from a semiconductor material, usually silicon, and has three legs for connection to ...
