Transistors are inevitable parts of Electronic circuits. The success of a circuit design lies in the selection of proper transistor type and calculation of voltage and current flowing through it. A ...

In Parts 1, 2, and 3 we took a closer look at calculating “ac” gain and how to desensitize the circuit to temperature and transistor parameter variations. In part 4 we consider the effects of a ...

Sometimes I wish FETs had become practical before bipolar transistors. A FET is a lot more like a tube and amplifies voltages. Bipolar transistors amplify current and that makes them a bit harder to ...

Unpacking the challenges with high-voltage power conversion and how SiC fits in. The pivotal advantages of SiC over traditional silicon in next-gen power converters. Rethinking circuit design for ...

A must-read for system and circuit designers, technologists and physicists from the World Scientific Advanced Series in Electrical and Computer Engineering Today's integrated silicon circuits and ...

Analog circuit design using MOS transistors represents a dynamic and rapidly evolving field that is integral to modern electronics. Exploiting the inherent advantages of MOS technology—such as ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A hacker can reproduce a circuit on a chip by discovering what key transistors are doing in a circuit – but not if the transistor “type” is undetectable. Purdue University ...

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 ...

March 29, 1961 - LOGICAL microcircuits in transistor cans are now being offered by four major companies. Heavy research and production is being pressed by Fairchild Semiconductor Corp., Raytheon Co., ...

(Nanowerk News) A hacker can reproduce a circuit on a chip by discovering what key transistors are doing in a circuit - but not if the transistor "type" is undetectable. Purdue University engineers ...

Engineers propose a built-in security measure that would better protect computer chip hardware from hackers. A hacker can reproduce a circuit on a chip by discovering what key transistors are doing in ...
