This latest book in a series of excellent publications is a supplement to an earlier book entitled GaN Transistors for Efficient Power Conversion.Their new book is entitled DC-DC Converter Handbook..

Beyond the power variant, it sometimes seems as though we rarely encounter a discrete transistor these days, such has been the advance of integrated electronics. But they have a rich history, going… ...

The sandwich transistor does in fact look like a little sandwich: two "bread" layers surrounding a piece of "meat." If you attach a wire with current to one side of the bread and measure what ...

Transistors will stop shrinking after 2021, but Moore's law will probably continue, according to the final International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS). The ITRS—which has been ...

On April 14, 1954, Gordon Teal showed TI's Vice President, Pat Haggerty, a working silicon transistor. Haggerty knew if they could be the first to sell these new transistors, they'd have it made.

“The Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT, such as NPN and PNP) was invented by Bell Labs in 1947.” Not exactly. The transistor demonstrated by Bell Labs in ’47 was a point contact transistor.
