Zetex Semiconductors pair of low-voltage PNP transistors feature low saturation voltages and high currents, serving as cost-effective switchers in a variety of slim-line portable applications. Zetex ...

The transistor is probably the most important invention in electronic engineering and the basis for nearly all integrated circuits (ICs). The transistor is a three-terminal electronic device that can ...

The two types of standard transistors are PNP and NPN which differs in circuit symbols. The layers of semiconductor material used to make the transistor are denoted by the letters. To keep a straight ...

The ISL73096EH is a radiation hardened ultra high frequency NPN/PNP transistor array. It contains three NPN transistors and two PNP transistors on a common substrate. The device covers all of the ...

Scientists at Forschungszentrum Jülich have fabricated a new type of transistor from a germanium–tin alloy that has several advantages over conventional switching elements. Charge carriers can move ...

Gordon Moore's visionary prediction, made in 1965, that the number of transistors on an integrated circuit chip would double every two years continues to be the main idea guiding the semiconductor ...

A research team has demonstrated the world's fastest silicon-based device to date. The investigators operated a silicon-germanium (SiGe) transistor at 798 gigahertz (GHz) fMAX, exceeding the previous ...

Europa is more than just one of Jupiter's many moons -- it's also one of most promising places in the solar system to look for extraterrestrial life. Under 10 kilometers of ice is a liquid water ocean ...

Over the past 70 years, the number of transistors on a chip has doubled approximately every two years – according to Moore’s Law, which is still valid today. The circuits have become correspondingly ...
