The use of transistors for switching things ON and OFF is a key feature of proper hacking. The ability for bipolar transistors to turn things ON and OFF is one of the less known uses while transistors ...

Innoscience Technology has launched a 100V bi-directional GaN-on-silicon bi-directional transistor, intended to replace a pair of back-to-back mosfets for turning a power rail on and off. It “can be ...

Transistors, the tiny switches that flip on and off inside computer chips, have long been the domain of electricity. But scientists are beginning to develop chip components that run on light. Last ...

Researchers have reported a black phosphorus transistor that can be used as an alternative ultra-low power switch. A research team led by Professor Sungjae Cho in the KAIST Department of Physics ...

Power gallium-nitride (GaN) FETs have been available for several years now, but some engineers have been slow to adopt them in power equipment despite their superior characteristics. Getting ...

Among semiconductors, the muting transistor and its audio application is perhaps the most obscure and poorly understood of all. There is extremely little information on this subject available on the ...

A monolithic GaN mains power converter IC was the target of Leibniz University Hannover, which worked with Texas Instruments. And the result is a 15W off-line PSU that can feed a 30-60V LED string ...

The chipmaker will shed light on a series of changes it's making to transistors that ideally will keep a lid on the growing problem of power consumption. Michael Kanellos is editor at large at CNET ...

Researchers have reported a black phosphorus transistor that can be used as an alternative ultra-low power switch. A research team developed a thickness-controlled black phosphorous tunnel ...
