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 ...

Indian Institute of Science (IISc) researchers have developed a fully indigenous gallium nitride (GaN) power switch that can have potential applications in systems like power converters for electric ...

The transistor and the PWM-switch, the core circuit of power converters, have interesting analogs. Both have three terminals, hence three configurations. They are active devices, and each has a key ...

Low-current, momentary action pushbutton switches, such as PCB-mount ‘tactile’ types, are cheap, and available in an abundance of different styles. Latching types, on the other hand, are often larger, ...

Nottingham-based Search For The Next (SFN) has released data on a power transistor made using its ‘quantum junction’ transistor (QJT) technology – branded ‘Bizen’. It has a TO-247 transistor switching ...

Only eight lithography masks to create a low-power custom logic chips, compared with 20+ for CMOS, is the claim of Nottingham-based fabless chip start-up ‘Search For The Next’ (SFN). As such, ...

A new way to switch transistors could overcome the power consumption and undesirable current leakage problems encountered in conventional nanoscale field-effect devices. The new technique, which works ...

The BSP75G intelliFET is a 60-V, 550-mΩ N-channel device with full self protection against overtemperature, overcurrent, overvoltage, and electrostatic discharge. It integrates a configurable ...

Computer engineering, but in particular mobile computer engineering, is all about playing a zero-sum game with yourself. Power and efficiency are constantly undercutting one another, creating ...
