Last month we showed you how to use resistors to reduce voltage. While it's a viable solution for many cases it isn't for others. As noted before, resistors work for devices whose load remains ...

Improved metalisation is the key to cutting on-resistance in Zetex Gen5 transistors. Reverse blocking Zetex is promoting its PNP Gen5 devices for power switching positive rails in sub-3.3V ...

Efficiency is the name of the game in the design of power supplies. This is a major reason why switch-mode power supplies (SMPSs) are chosen for power-supply designs. However, even SMPSs have their ...

A University at Buffalo team has proposed a new form of power MOSFET transistor that can handle incredibly high voltages with minimal thickness, heralding an efficiency increase in the power ...

When checking and verifying capacitors, inductors, diodes, bipolar transistors, and cables, the gamut of test methods can range from those used to confirm a defective component to identifying the ...

The circuit has been designed for transistors to determine whether the pin is emitter, base or collector as well as the type if NPN or PNP polarity, and can also be used in testing diodes. 4011 – a ...

Researchers demonstrate “a low-voltage organic ternary logic circuit, in which the organic HTR was vertically integrated with the organic nonvolatile flash memory.” “Multi-valued logic (MVL) circuits ...
