This video explains how transistors work as switches and amplifiers in electronic circuits. Transistors control the flow of current and enable signal processing in everything from small devices to ...
A snubber circuit limits voltage spikes in power converters. Snubbers are also used in the output of Class-D audio amplifiers for the same reasons (Fig. 1). When the transistor you use to switch the ...
A team of Chinese researchers has built a ferroelectric transistor with a gate length of just 1 nanometer that runs on 0.6 ...
For switching high-powered loads from a microcontroller, or for switching AC loads in general, most of us will reach into the parts bin and pull out a generic relay of some sort. Relays are ...
Recent advances in semiconductor technology have pushed the concept of transistors with switching speeds greater than one terahertz, or one trillion cycles per second, closer to reality. Transistors ...
Although microcontrollers generally run at low voltages, such as 3.3 V, they often need to control loads running at higher voltages like 12 V. If switching the low side isn’t an option, the ...
