SemiSouth, a little-know semiconductor firm from Mississippi, is introducing high-power silicon carbide JFETs to replace silicon IGBTs and silicon mosfets in high power inverters. The firm already ...

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 ...

The impact of on-resistance on MOSFETs. The role of temperature coefficient in comparing different MOSFETs' on-resistance. What type of FET has the lowest conduction losses? There's nothing quite like ...

As SiC technology develops, depletion-mode (normally-on) JFETs increasingly appear to be the optimum power switching device. As these need both positive and negative gate drive voltages, designers are ...

Transistors come in different flavors. Tubes used an electric field to regulate current flow, and researchers wanted to find something that worked the same way without the drawbacks like vacuum and ...

D3 Semiconductor announces its inaugural entry into the power semiconductor market with the launch of its +FET™ line of 650V-rated superjunction MOSFETs. +FET MOSFETs enable high-efficiency solutions ...

MOSFETs are widely used as power switching elements in regulators and motor controllers. They can be either discrete devices or integrated into ICs in various H-bridge configurations. A common ...

SEOUL, South Korea--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Magnachip Semiconductor Corporation (“Magnachip” or “Company”) (NYSE: MX) announced today the expansion of production for its 7th generation 1)MXT LV MOSFETs, ...

In Part 1 of this five-part series, we examined FET voltage controlled resistors, basic voltage controlled resistor circuits, and a balanced or push pull voltage controlled resistor (VCR) circuit.

Every now and again, a single paper ignites a revolution in science and technology. Such a revolution was started in October 2004, when condensed-matter physicists reported that they had prepared ...
