The common source amplifier is one of three basic single-stage amplifier topologies. The MOS version functions as an inverting voltage amplifier. The gate terminal of the transistor serves as the ...

A Planet Analog article, “2N3904: Why use a 60-year-old transistor?” by Bill Schweber, inspired some interest in this old transistor and how it’s commonly used, and if any uncommon uses might exist.

LTSpice is a tool that every electronics nerd should have at least a basic knowledge of. Those of us who work professionally in the analog and power worlds rely heavily on the validity of our ...

Explains the principles of transistor switching circuits, highlighting their role in electronic computers. It contrasts transistors with vacuum tubes, emphasizing that transistors function as ...

Abstract: A design method is presented to protect the power switch from negative voltage at the input power supply due to the connecting or disconnecting the power line. To ensure proper power supply ...

SAN MARCOS, Texas — Living close to campus was important for Kristy Money and her husband, Rolf Straubhaar – both of whom are educators at Texas State University – when they bought their "forever" ...

Dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) chips contain many other transistors besides the access transistor to enable full operation of the DRAM memory. These peripheral transistors must meet stringent ...

Quickly learn what the difference is between PMOS and NMOS transistors in their structure and operation, and how CMOS works with the two in combination. Siliwiz, a free, browser-based, ASIC layout ...

Transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are a class of material that’s been receiving significant attention as a possible successor of silicon. Recently, a team of researchers has demonstrated the use ...
