Transistors, the tiny switches that flip on and off inside computer chips, have long been the domain of electricity. But scientists are beginning to develop chip components that run on light. Last ...

The use of transistors for switching things ON and OFF is a key feature of proper hacking. The ability for bipolar transistors to turn things ON and OFF is one of the less known uses while transistors ...

Fujitsu Laboratories Limited and Fujitsu Microelectronics Limited today announced the development of a CMOS logic (1) process-based high-voltage transistor featuring high breakdown voltage, suitable ...

This project demonstrates how to build a simple latching power switch circuit using an NPN transistor and a pushbutton, powered by a 9V battery. When the pushbutton is pressed, the transistor ...

Researchers have reported a black phosphorus transistor that can be used as an alternative ultra-low power switch. A research team developed a thickness-controlled black phosphorous tunnel ...

A snubber circuit limits voltage spikes in power converters. Snubbers are also used in the output of Class-D audio amplifiers for the same reasons (Fig. 1). When the transistor you use to switch the ...
