San Jose, Calif. — Fairchild Semiconductor has introduced 3-A and 5-A bipolar junction transistors (BJT) with ultra-fast switching and low saturation voltage that contribute to energy-savings in ...

Build a low-cost saturation tester to measure the saturationvoltage of switching transistors accurately in the presence ofhigh switching voltages or noise. In switch-mode power supplies, saturation ...

Advanced Power Electronics Corp. (USA) has recently released a new family of high speed 600V discrete IGBTs for use in AC and DC motor control, home appliances (such as air conditioning, refrigerators ...

Low voltage amplifiers are often used in single-supply voltage circuits and make use of the rail-to-rail output feature these amplifiers have. While the output of these amplifiers can swing close to ...

Improved metalisation is the key to cutting on-resistance in Zetex Gen5 transistors. Reverse blocking Zetex is promoting its PNP Gen5 devices for power switching positive rails in sub-3.3V ...

Renesas has shaved 200mV from the saturation voltage of its 650V IGBTs to increase power efficiency. Said to be due to “ultrathin wafer technology”, typical saturation voltage has dropped from 1.8V to ...
