Power MOSFETs are specialized metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFET) designed to handle significant power levels. Although early power MOSFET manufacturing used several different ...

Over the recent weeks here at Hackaday, we’ve been taking a look at the humble transistor. In a series whose impetus came from a friend musing upon his students arriving with highly developed ...

In this post I will try to gain some insight into the electronics of a cheap PWM Power MOSFET Module. The module under the spotlight is the pretty common FR120N MOSFET Control Module which is a simple ...

Researchers from the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) have demonstrated the operation of a synthetic electric field tunnel field-effect transistor with a new ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. The synchronous buck converter has been the topology of choice in PCs and notebook computers for years. This topology provides ease of control and high ...

Efficiency is often the most important factor when designing a power supply for many types of consumer and industrial applications including mobile phones, tablet and notebook computers, rechargeable ...

Perhaps, that’s the single most popular use for an NPN transistor – driving coils, like relays or solenoids. We are quite used to driving relays with BJTs, typically an NPN – but it doesn’t have to be ...
