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 ...

Sponsored by: Texas Instruments Even though gallium-nitride transistors are becoming a more popular solution in terms of power switching, the venerable MOSFET still can be used effectively in current ...

Process devices operate when an input level, such as voltage, reaches the required value for the device to operate. The transistor is on, when the input voltage is greater than or equal to \(0.7 V\).

The critical role of snubber circuits in minimizing ringing and overshoot. How snubber circuitry is evolving to adapt to trends in power electronics, like the rising interest in wide-bandgap ...

Switching components usually consist of three pins: Voltage or current in one pin lets the current flow between the other two pins. To switch the device on or off, there is a short but not immediate ...
