Paul Schimel discusses the nuances of these MOSFET bugaboos and how to mitigate them from the start with solid design practices. Here you can download Part 2 of the series.

Discrete power MOSFETs employ semiconductor processing techniques that are similar to those of today’s VLSI circuits, although the device geometry, voltage and current levels are significantly ...

This application note describes the basic characteristics and operating performance of IGBTs. It is intended to give the reader a thorough background on the device technology behind IXYS IGBTs. The ...

Sponsored by: Texas Instruments Even though gallium-nitride transistors are becoming a more popular solution in terms of power switching, the venerable MOSFET still can be used effectively in current ...

Regular on/off switches rely on fingers and springs to bring bits of wire together or apart. When the wires touch, electrons flow from one to the other, and your computer/nightlight/sock warmer is on.
