Properly designing the gate drive circuit for high-voltage MOSFETs is essential to ensure proper performance from the MOSFET one desires. Far too often, engineers find themselves having difficulty in ...

Who wants to live in a slammer? Home security has never been an artful enterprise — few choices exist outside jailhouse grills that seem to incarcerate homeowners rather than block intruders. Enter ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. Traction inverters based on silicon insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) have been the go-to technology for electric vehicles (EVs). However, to ...

Cordless power tools are becoming the primary choice in both the professional and consumer markets for low-to-medium applications (Fig. 1). Workshop tools include screwdrivers, saws, drills, rotary ...

Just as its name implies, a floating-gate transistor’s driving terminal is electrically isolated from the rest of the device—that is, floating—so there is no direct internal dc path from the input ...

If anyone knows what makes a good gate, it’s 118,000 enthusiasts who share their favourites on Facebook. And this wooden work of art in Anglesey has been liked by 42,000 members ... Name: The world’s ...

A gate turn-off switch, also known as a gate-controlled switch (GCS) or gate turn-off thyristor (GTO), is similar to an SCR but can be turned off by a negative signal on the gate terminal. GTOs ...
