A number of circuits, such as level detectors and AM demodulators, benefit from a rectifier with a low offset voltage. Silicon diodes have an offset of approximately 0.6V and do not work well in ...
Transistors, the building blocks of integrated circuits, face growing challenges as their size decreases. Developing transistors that use novel operating principles has become crucial to enhancing ...
Emerging as the industry's highest voltage bipolar transistors designed for audio amplifier output stages, the MJL4281A (NPN) and MJL4302A (PNP) 15A, 230W power transistors specify a sustained ...
The hybrid STE59DE100 ESBT (emitter-switched bipolar transistor) STE50DE100 has a collector-source voltage of 1 kV and collector currents as high as 50A. The product combines bipolar and MOSFET ...
In the early days, PNP bipolar transistors were common, but the bulk of circuits you see today use NPN transistors. As [Aaron Danner] points out, many people think PNP transistors are “backward” but ...
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 ...
STMicroelectronics has introduced a hybrid emitter-switched bipolar transistor (ESBT) for use in welding equipment, induction heating systems and power factor correction for audio amplifiers. The ...
