The transistor and the PWM-switch, the core circuit of power converters, have interesting analogs. Both have three terminals, hence three configurations. They are active devices, and each has a key ...

Class D audio power amplifiers, also called PWM amplifiers, have been in use for many years. Systems such as wireline telephony, where high bandwidth was not critical were the initial application of ...

This video explains what transistors are and how they function as electronic switches and amplifiers. As a core component of modern electronics, transistors control the flow of current and enable ...

The transistor is one of the most important components in electronics. By switching or amplifying electrical signals, transistors make sure that our smartphones, computers and even coffee machines do ...

The transistor was 18 years old in 1975, the year Solid-State Power Conversion (the forerunner of Power Electronics Technology) was founded; and by that time, the integrated circuit was some 17 years ...

The gossip: Analog and digital will soon battle for control of power-supply regulation. The reality: When it comes to feedback-loop control, both approaches seem to happily coexist. (See "True Digital ...

A fully functional, fast switching and printable transistor in cheap plastic has just been invented. A fully functional, fast switching and printable transistor in cheap plastic is invented by ...
