It used to be a rite of passage to be able to do the math necessary to design various bipolar transistor amplifier ...

Emerging as the industry's highest voltage bipolar transistors designed for audio amplifier output stages, the MJL4281A (NPN) and MJL4302A (PNP) 15A, 230W power transistors specify a sustained ...

A number of circuits, such as level detectors and AM demodulators, benefit from a rectifier with a low offset voltage. Silicon diodes have an offset of approximately 0.6V and do not work well in ...

A Planet Analog article, “2N3904: Why use a 60-year-old transistor?” by Bill Schweber, inspired some interest in this old transistor and how it’s commonly used, and if any uncommon uses might exist.

Building things in a lab is easy, at least when compared to scaling up for mass production. That’s why there are so many articles about fusion being right around the corner, or battery technology that ...

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, ...

STMicroelectronics has introduced a hybrid emitter-switched bipolar transistor (ESBT) for use in welding equipment, induction heating systems and power factor correction for audio amplifiers. The ...
