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 ...

Researchers have developed a highly efficient organic bipolar transistor. The work opens up new perspectives for organic electronics -- both in data processing and transmission, as well as in medical ...

The invention of the transistor in 1947 by Shockley, Bardeen and Brattain at Bell Laboratories ushered in the age of microelectronics and revolutionized our lives. First, so-called bipolar transistors ...

The company’s first bipolar transistors in its miniature PowerDI5 surface-mount package are designed on a fifth-generation matrix emitter process, yielding a range of 12 NPN and PNP transistors with a ...

In the early days, PNP bipolar transistors were common, but the bulk of circuits you see today use NPN transistors. As [Aaron Danner] points out, many people think PNP transistors are “backward” but ...

2N2222 devices used, but practically any junkbox NPN will do Electromagnetic fields are everywhere, all around us. Some are generated naturally, but in vast majority of cases, it’s we humans that are ...

Bipolar transistors, essential components in a myriad of electronic devices, are highly susceptible to the adverse impacts of radiation. Ionising radiation introduces defects within the semiconductor ...
