We like to pretend that our circuit elements are perfect because, honestly, it makes life easier and it often doesn’t matter much in practice. For a normal design, the fact that a foot of wire has a ...

The use of transistors for switching things ON and OFF is a key feature of proper hacking. The ability for bipolar transistors to turn things ON and OFF is one of the less known uses while transistors ...

This course presents in-depth discussion and analysis of metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) and bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) including the equilibrium characteristics, ...

Transistors, the tiny switches that flip on and off inside computer chips, have long been the domain of electricity. But scientists are beginning to develop chip components that run on light. Last ...

There is some hogwash out there, masquerading as engineering white papers, which are really just click bait to get your contact details. And there are some gems available for the same price. And, in ...

Since the Industrial Revolution, access to energy and power has been crucial to economic prosperity throughout the world. According to statistics published by the U.S. Energy Information ...

In recent years, MOSFETs have benefited from huge investments in technology and promotion alike, overshadowing bipolar devices to the degree that many designers view bipolars as old technology.

Your design task, should you decide to accept it: given an input voltage, square it. Ok, that’s too hard since squaring 8 volts would give you 64 volts, so let’s say the output should be 10% of the ...
