Microprocessors for PCs are at the forefront of the computing industry, leading with huge nanoscale chips built in multibillion-dollar fab plants. So far, the success of the semiconductor industry has ...
Having thought up and simulated a drive circuit for the synchronous rectifier in a Cuk converter, I thought I would wrap it all up by appling the things I learned to the original circuit – a high-side ...
A breakthrough in processing gallium nitride (GaN) on a silicon substrate has produced enhancement-mode FETs with high conductivity and hyperfast switching. Its cost structure and fundamental ...
How long has it been since a computer could boast about the fact that it contained 2,500 transistors? Probably close to half a century now, at a guess. So in a world with a couple of billion ...
The holiday gave me a chance to play with bipolar transistor mosfet drivers again. And things did not go quite as planned. I had been using the circuit on the right quite happily from a signal ...
Power management integrated circuits come in different varieties. If we narrow them down to voltage regulators, we still need to distinguish controllers from fully featured voltage regulator ICs that ...
The STMicroelectronics 3STL2540 combines the cost and silicon-area efficiencies of a bipolar transistor with energy efficiency similar to MOSFETs of comparable rating, giving designers a space-saving ...
