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 development of wireless telecommunications and the Internet of Things is driving the need for compact transceiver systems with higher data rates and lower latency and power consumption. One ...

IGBT, stands for Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor. It is a bipolar transistor with an insulated gate terminal. It combines a control input with a MOS structure and a bipolar power transistor in a ...

Transistors in some circuit configurations work together and, frequently, need to be matched. This is so common that you can sometimes find ICs that are just a pair of transistors made with the same ...

This application note describes the basic characteristics and operating performance of IGBTs. It is intended to give the reader a thorough background on the device technology behind IXYS IGBTs. The ...

In industrial-control applications, many sensors and actuators must operate at tens of volts, while control-logic voltages have continued to shrink in step with successive generations of digital ...
