An SCR topology transmogrifies into BJT two-wire precision current source with a self-resetting fault-current limiter.

The ability to make a very miniature on/off switch changed the world. These tiny switches, known as transistors, make up the basis of all modern computing—they drive your cell phones, your bank ...

In any racing environment, we all want to go fast, but one of the key elements to carrying speed is the methods in which we slow down. Enter the Brake Bias, the setting on the car in which you decide ...

Abstract: This paper presents a novel minimal loss gate-biasing (MLGB) technique applied to the two rectifying PMOS transistors in a CMOS cross-coupled rectifier for ambient RF energy harvesting (RFEH ...

A tiny new crystal-based transistor could be the key to faster, more reliable AI chips—leaving traditional silicon designs in the dust. Credit: Shutterstock In a potential turning point for ...

Over on his YouTube channel [Aaron Danner] explains biasing transistors with current sources in the 29th video of his Transistors Series. In this video, he shows how to replace a bias resistor (and ...

The transition from finFET technology to Gate-All-Around (GAA) technology helps to reduce transistor variability and resume channel length scaling. It also brings several new challenges in terms of ...

Why it matters: Silicon transistors are great, but just like any other object in the physical world, they are held back by a few limitations. The laws of physics put a bottleneck on performance and ...
