This application note describes the basic characteristics and operating performance of IGBTs. It is intended to give the reader a thorough background on the device technology behind IXYS IGBTs. The ...
AF114 germanium transistors and related ones like the AF115 through AF117 were quite popular during the 1960s, but they quickly developed a reputation for failure. This is due to what should have made ...
Most modern electronic devices consist of several key components: transistors, capacitors, resistors, inductors and diodes. Often, they are supplemented by additional components like crystals and ...
In 1964, when I started working in the electronics industry, a single silicon transistor cost over £1 ($2.80 at the time, or about $22 at 2014 prices). These cheap ones were not very good and higher ...
If you open up the perennial favourite electronics textbook The Art Of Electronics and turn to the section on transistors, you will see a little cartoon. A transistor is shown as a room in which ...
