For IGBTs, the on-state voltage drop is a critical specification to consider. This drop includes both the diode drop across ...

Miniature self-sensing transistor thermostats use a single transistor (BJT or FET) to serve as both a temperature sensor and stabilizing heater. These transistor thermostats are (when well designed) ...

An SCR topology transmogrifies into BJT two-wire precision current source with a self-resetting fault-current limiter.

In this lesson, students build two circuits and explore how transistors function. When Bell Labs introduced the transistor in June of 1948, a spokesman proudly announced "This cylindrical object . . .

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 ...

Feedback refers to a core concept in circuit design and control theory, used to stabilize amplifiers and control system ...
