OK, so I have an old project laptop with an IDE/PATA/slim-ATAPI optical drive bay, into which I have inserted a SATA drive caddy with a bridge board. The thing is, the caddy doesn't transfer the drive ...

Zetex Semiconductors has introduced a series of miniature NPN and PNP transistors for MOSFET gate driving in latest generation power supplies. ZXTN and ZXTP transistors The first bipolars to be ...

In the early days, PNP bipolar transistors were common, but the bulk of circuits you see today use NPN transistors. As [Aaron Danner] points out, many people think PNP transistors are “backward” but ...

Having thought up and simulated a drive circuit for the synchronous rectifier in a Cuk converter, I thought I would wrap it all up by appling the things I learned to the original circuit – a high-side ...

Adding to the company's line of low-saturation, high-current SOT23FF transistors, the ZXTP25020CFF and ZXTP19020DFF PNP devices reduce their board height to less than 1 mm. Both promise to reduce ...

A technical paper titled “Fabrication and performance of highly stacked GeSi nanowire field effect transistors” was published by researchers at National Taiwan University.

A previous Design Idea describes a circuit that uses an astable multivibrator to drive an LED (Reference 1). The circuit in Figure 1 uses a simpler alternative approach. The circuit uses a 2N3904 NPN ...

Transistors are tiny switches that can be triggered by electric signals. They are the basic building blocks of microchips, and roughly define the difference between electric and electronic devices.
