High voltage nanosecond pulse generation using avalanche transistors represents a transformative avenue in the field of pulsed power technology. Exploiting the intrinsic properties of avalanche ...

A University at Buffalo team has proposed a new form of power MOSFET transistor that can handle incredibly high voltages with minimal thickness, heralding an efficiency increase in the power ...

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 ...

This video explains how transistors work as switches and amplifiers in electronic circuits. Transistors control the flow of current and enable signal processing in everything from small devices to ...

For switching high-powered loads from a microcontroller, or for switching AC loads in general, most of us will reach into the parts bin and pull out a generic relay of some sort. Relays are ...

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — In a move to address the power concerns of future microprocessors, Intel Corp. here today announced a new transistor structure that marks the company's initial use of high-k ...
