Since the mid-nineteen seventies the “enhancement-mode” MOSFET has been the subject of almost continuous global research, development, and refinement by both the semiconductor industry and academia.

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 ...

Consider the newest precharged floating-gate MOSFETs from Advanced Linear Devices as very fast alternatives for normally closed relays that consume virtually zero power, and you won't go far wrong.

This application note shows you how to use depletion-mode MOSFETs in various devices. It also lists the main performance features of the circuit design. To view the application note, click on the URL ...

Littelfuse has announced the launch of the CPC3981Z, an 800 V, 100 mA, 45 Ohm, Small Power N-Channel Depletion Mode MOSFET. Compared to a standard SOT-223 package, this product's SOT-223-2L package ...

Infineon Technologies is to develop a two-terminal semiconductor device that acts as a circuit breaker for hundreds of volts and amps: doubling the performance of its mains-voltage super-junction ...

Transistors are three-terminal semiconductor devices. One terminal controls electrical resistance or current flow between the other two terminals, giving transistors a valvelike operation. Transistors ...
