This application note describes the basic characteristics and operating performance of IGBTs. It is intended to give the reader a thorough background on the device technology behind IXYS IGBTs. The ...

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

The company’s first bipolar transistors in its miniature PowerDI5 surface-mount package are designed on a fifth-generation matrix emitter process, yielding a range of 12 NPN and PNP transistors with a ...

Reliable versatile analog transistor targets More Than Moore applications bringing differential advantage for smart sensors, ...

FETs are mono-polar transistors. The current passing from drain to source doesn’t cross a P-N junction, as in a bipolar transistor. Because of this, the parts are resistive when you turn them on with ...

A transistor is a tiny but powerful electronic component that acts like a switch or an amplifier. It is made from a semiconductor material, usually silicon, and has three legs for connection to ...
