Logical circuits have been built from nanosheet stacks of various transistors, which could make electronic devices faster and more compact. Xiong Xiong is in the School of Integrated Circuits and the ...

Need to switch something on or off using a microcontroller? Using a transistor is one of the best ways to do this, but how exactly do you design properly for transistor switching? [Ben Krasnow] put ...

Process devices operate when an input level, such as voltage, reaches the required value for the device to operate. The transistor is on, when the input voltage is greater than or equal to \(0.7 V\).

In the wake of gallium-nitride (GaN) transistor introductions, a number of semiconductor makers have begun to reassess the role played by conventional MOSFETs. The introduction of GaN devices doesn’t ...

The two types of standard transistors are PNP and NPN which differs in circuit symbols. The layers of semiconductor material used to make the transistor are denoted by the letters. To keep a straight ...

Switching components usually consist of three pins: Voltage or current in one pin lets the current flow between the other two pins. To switch the device on or off, there is a short but not immediate ...

Transitron of Ealing are marketing a new semiconductor tetrode, the Binistor, which has been developed for switching and storage circuits. The tetrode comes from America where it has been developed by ...
