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 ...

There are many types of switch-mode power supply (SMPS) transistors to choose from today. Two of the more popular versions are the metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) and the ...

The key electronic component in the integrated circuit (IC) is the planar, bulk metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET). A key driver for the IC industry has been Moore's Law, which ...

A Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (MOSFET) is a fundamental building block of modern electronics. It is a field-effect transistor (FET) where the voltage applied to a terminal (gate) ...

The first transistor was successfully demonstrated at Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, New Jersey, in 1947. This three-terminal device has spawned many of the electronics devices that make possible ...

A transistor – a word blend of "transfer" and "resistor" – is a fundamental component of today's advanced electronics. Essentially, a transistor, as one of the foundational elements of modern ...

CREE has developed a new MOSFET that could be suitable for silicon-carbide-based string inverters above 10 kW in size. The U.S. manufacturer says switching losses are 20% lower with the new transistor ...
