Discrete power MOSFETs employ semiconductor processing techniques that are similar to those of today’s VLSI circuits, although the device geometry, voltage and current levels are significantly ...
Power MOSFETs are well known for superior switching speed, and they require very little gate drive power because of the insulated gate. In these respects, power MOSFETs approach the characteristics of ...
In the wake of gallium-nitride (GaN) transistor introductions, a number of semiconductor makers have begun to reassess the role played by conventional MOSFETs. The introduction of GaN devices doesn’t ...
The power semiconductor evolution started with germanium and selenium devices that succumbed to silicon types around the 1950s. Broader silicon usage stemmed from its improved physical properties ...
The classic metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) is the workhorse of the microelectronics industry. MOSFETs are the building blocks of microprocessors, memory chips and ...
Reverse polarity is one of the most common causes of circuit failure, from hobby projects to industrial systems. The good news is that a well-designed reverse polarity protection using MOSFET ...
A transistor – a word blend of "transfer" and "resistor" – is a fundamental component of today's advanced electronics. Essentially, a transistor, as one of the foundational elements of modern ...
