The transistor is probably the most important invention in electronic engineering and the basis for nearly all integrated circuits (ICs). The transistor is a three-terminal electronic device that can ...

For circuit designs that use complementarybipolar transistors,you sometimes need to sort the NPNand PNP transistors to have matchingdc-current gains (β). One example of acircuit requiring matching is ...

Transistors are an indispensable building block in electric appliances, where they amplify weak electric currents. Now researchers have developed a new type of transistor that is 50 times more energy ...

Modern circuit design is a “mixed signal” endeavor thanks to the availability of sophisticated process technologies that make available bipolar and CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor), ...

The world’s fastest transistor has been developed by a pair of US researchers, possibly paving the way for a new generation of super-charged electronic chips. Milton Feng and Walid Hafez at the ...
