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 ...

Abstract: A model is presented for the interpretation of point-contact transistor switching phenomena. The assumption is made that the frequency cut-off is high when the transistor is not saturated ...

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 ...

Need to switch something on or off using a microcontroller? Using a transistor is one of the best ways to do this, but how exactly do you design properly for transistor switching? [Ben Krasnow] put ...

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 \(0.7 V\).

Innoscience Technology has launched a 100V bi-directional GaN-on-silicon bi-directional transistor, intended to replace a pair of back-to-back mosfets for turning a power rail on and off. It “can be ...

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 ...
