Researchers have developed a highly efficient organic bipolar transistor. The work opens up new perspectives for organic electronics -- both in data processing and transmission, as well as in medical ...

We like to pretend that our circuit elements are perfect because, honestly, it makes life easier and it often doesn’t matter much in practice. For a normal design, the fact that a foot of wire has a ...

Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) unite the high input impedance and fast switching of metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) with the low conduction losses of bipolar ...

A look at the dual bipolar transistor zener clamp circuit, and it's usefulness as a fast low leakage overload clamp. The ...

IGBT, stands for Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor. It is a bipolar transistor with an insulated gate terminal. It combines a control input with a MOS structure and a bipolar power transistor in a ...

To extend its BiCOM biCMOS process into the next generation, Texas Instruments is tapping the benefits of complementary silicon-germanium (SiGe) bipolar transistors. TI has developed a third ...

A transistor is a tiny but powerful electronic component that acts like a switch or an amplifier. It is made from a semiconductor material, usually silicon, and has three legs for connection to ...

This application note describes the basic characteristics and operating performance of IGBTs. It is intended to give the reader a thorough background on the device technology behind IXYS IGBTs. The ...
