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 ...

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 ...

KAWASAKI, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has released “TCK421G” for 20V power lines as the first product in its new “TCK42xG Series” of MOSFET ...

The transistor has been around since the nineteen forties. In fact, the FET (Field Effect Transistor) was actually developed before the more common bipolar type. Bipolar transistors use semiconductor ...

Power Integrations has announced industry’s first 1,700V GaN transistor – as far as the company can tell. It is integrated within its latest series of InnoMux-branded multi-output fly-back ac-dc ...

Increasingly, applications such as DC/DC converters, power management units (PMU)[1], LED display power[2] and integrated display lighting solutions rely on integrated power MOSFETs (e.g., LDNMOS).

A technical paper titled “Tunnel Junction-Enabled Monolithically Integrated GaN Micro-Light Emitting Transistor” was published by researchers at the Ohio State University and Sandia National ...

Allegro MicroSystems Europe has unveiled a three-phase brushless BLDC motor controller for use with N-channel external power MOSFETs. The AMT49413 incorporates much of the circuitry required to design ...

Only eight lithography masks to create a low-power custom logic chips, compared with 20+ for CMOS, is the claim of Nottingham-based fabless chip start-up ‘Search For The Next’ (SFN). As such, ...

Integrated circuits (ICs) consume significant amounts of power, so much so that the overall power that ICs account for has become an international problem. As server farms expand and more individual ...
