Over the recent weeks here at Hackaday, we’ve been taking a look at the humble transistor. In a series whose impetus came from a friend musing upon his students arriving with highly developed ...

A Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (MOSFET) is a fundamental building block of modern electronics. It is a field-effect transistor (FET) where the voltage applied to a terminal (gate) ...

If you have an application in which a MOSFET is already used to switch a load, it is relatively easy to add short-circuit or overload protection. Here we make use of the internal resistance RDS(ON), ...

A transistor used for amplifying or switching electronic signals is the metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET). Its significance came only during the mid and late 1960s although it ...

The first transistor was successfully demonstrated at Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, New Jersey, in 1947. This three-terminal device has spawned many of the electronics devices that make possible ...

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 ...
