We like to pretend that our circuit elements are perfect because, honestly, it makes life easier and it often doesn’t matter much in practice. For a normal design, the fact that a foot of wire has a ...

A transistor fabricated from the crystalline phase of an organic semiconductor material could provide a path to improved switching speeds — rivalling those of devices built from inorganic materials ...

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 ...

IGBT, stands for Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor. It is a bipolar transistor with an insulated gate terminal. It combines a control input with a MOS structure and a bipolar power transistor in a ...

To extend its BiCOM biCMOS process into the next generation, Texas Instruments is tapping the benefits of complementary silicon-germanium (SiGe) bipolar transistors. TI has developed a third ...
