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 ...
Just as the common emitter amplifier and common base amplifier each tied those respective transistor terminals to a fixed potential and used the other two terminals as amplifier input and output, so ...
(Nanowerk News) Naoki Yokoyama, Shu Nakaharai, and others, Collaborative Research Team Green Nanoelectronics Center (GNC), the Nanoelectronics Research Institute (NeRI) of the National Institute of ...
At this year's International Solid State Circuits Conference (ISSCC), STMicroelectronics and research institute CEA-Leti described a DSP with an operating voltage of 400mV, rather than the ...
Despite recent improvements in the performance of RF LDMOS field-effect transistors (FETs), temperature drift and aging continue to affect the efficiency and linearization of power amplifiers using ...
Many switch-mode power supplies use “kick-start” circuits to initialize their offline operation. These circuits may be simple resistors, such as International Rectifier’s IRIS4015, or more complicated ...
