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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
