As electronics engineer I have a mental collection of circuits that I’ve gathered over the years, much like a mechanic collects specialized tools as they work. All engineers do this and the tools in ...

Transistors are tiny electronic components that act as switches and amplifiers, and they dwell at the heart of modern technology. In simple terms, a transistor can turn a flow of electricity on or off ...

Switching has almost always meant “hard" switching, which is simple but comes with all kinds of electrical and thermal ...

GaN Systems has unveiled its range of E-mode GaN-on-silicon high power transistors. Based on three core proprietary technologies, the GS65516T is said to boast the highest current capability on the ...

As consumer devices continue to shrink in size, power considerations and appropriate thermal design become increasingly important for circuit designers and board layout engineers. This tutorial helps ...

Last week I explained how to use a motion sensor to trigger an event with an Arduino. The event we triggered was a simple blinking of an LED. You can do a lot with a bunch of LEDs if you use your ...

Innoscience Technology has launched a 100V bi-directional GaN-on-silicon bi-directional transistor, intended to replace a pair of back-to-back mosfets for turning a power rail on and off. It “can be ...

Intelligent soft switching with AI support promises to reduce switching losses in power transistors by up to 95 per cent.
