The CPC5608 is a 5-channel, low power transistor array integrated circuit featuring extremely low static current draw from power supply in a simple 2-state logic control input. It has two state ...

This simple circuit has helped me out on many occasions. It is able to check transistors, in the circuit, down to 40 ohms across the collector-base or base-emitter junctions. It can also check the ...

On Oct. 3, 1950, three Bell Labs scientists received a patent for a "three-electrode circuit element" that would usher in the ...

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 ...

Researchers have reported a black phosphorus transistor that can be used as an alternative ultra-low power switch. A research team developed a thickness-controlled black phosphorous tunnel ...

Next year Intel introduces a new transistor — RibbonFET — and a new way of powering it called "PowerVia." The chip uses "backside power" which apparently has nothing to do with curry but can separate ...

Silicon MOSFET power transistors have been a mainstay of power-supply design for years. And while they’re still widely used, gallium-nitride (GaN) transistors are gradually replacing MOSFETs in some ...

Scientists from RWTH Aachen University, AMO GmbH, AIXTRON SE, and EPFL have demonstrated power detectors based on Molybdenum disulphide (MoS 2) that operate at zero bias.

Last week, it was announced that Cambridge GaN Devices (CGD) will lead a €10.3m European project (‘GaNext’) to develop fast-switching intelligent GaN power modules. But who is this small UK company ...

Efficient Power Conversion (EPC), a developer of enhancement-mode gallium nitride (GaN) power transistors and ICs, has announced that it is making available the EPC2366. 40 V GaN power transistor ...
