The impact of on-resistance on MOSFETs. The role of temperature coefficient in comparing different MOSFETs' on-resistance. What type of FET has the lowest conduction losses? There's nothing quite like ...
SiC MOSFETs are usually susceptible to damage as a result of short-circuiting events because of the fast switching speeds and low on-state resistance. 3 A team of researchers affiliated with the ...
Wide-bandgap (WBG) power semiconductors—and silicon-carbide (SiC) devices in particular—can help significantly improve the energy efficiency and reliability of various types of power converters. These ...
Infineon Technologies is to develop a two-terminal semiconductor device that acts as a circuit breaker for hundreds of volts and amps: doubling the performance of its mains-voltage super-junction ...
Alpha and Omega Semiconductor AOSL recently unveiled AONZ66412 XSPairFET MOSFET for Buck-Boost converters in USB PD 3.1 Extended Power Range (EPR) applications. The USB PD 3.1 standard has set the ...
As SiC technology develops, depletion-mode (normally-on) JFETs increasingly appear to be the optimum power switching device. As these need both positive and negative gate drive voltages, designers are ...
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 ...
JFETs are, almost invariably, depletion mode devices, which means that there will be some drain current at a zero-applied gate-source potential. This current will decrease in a fairly linear manner as ...
Transistors are three-terminal semiconductor devices. One terminal controls electrical resistance or current flow between the other two terminals, giving transistors a valvelike operation. Transistors ...
