This resource provides clear explanations of how switching regulators work and how voltage boosting is achieved efficiently ...

The use of transistors for switching things ON and OFF is a key feature of proper hacking. The ability for bipolar transistors to turn things ON and OFF is one of the less known uses while transistors ...

Abstract: The general transistor properties of small size and weight, low power and voltage, and potential long life suggest extensive application of transistors to pulse or switching type systems of ...

“Three-terminal thermal analogies to electrical transistors have been proposed for use in thermal amplification, thermal switching, or thermal logic, but have not yet been demonstrated experimentally.

The two types of standard transistors are PNP and NPN which differs in circuit symbols. The layers of semiconductor material used to make the transistor are denoted by the letters. To keep a straight ...

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 ...

GaN power transistors can shrink AC‑DC power supplies and cut losses but, to get the best out of them, their gate drive waveform needs careful attention. As a German team pointed out at ISSCC, GaN ...

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 \(0.7 V\).
