SemiSouth, a little-know semiconductor firm from Mississippi, is introducing high-power silicon carbide JFETs to replace silicon IGBTs and silicon mosfets in high power inverters. The firm already ...
As SiC technology develops, depletion-mode (normally-on) JFETs increasingly appear to be the optimum power switching device. As these need both positive and negative gate drive voltages, designers are ...
SiC MOSFETs are usually susceptible to damage as a result of short-circuiting events because of the fast switching speeds and low on-state resistance. 3 A team of researchers affiliated with the ...
Transistors come in different flavors. Tubes used an electric field to regulate current flow, and researchers wanted to find something that worked the same way without the drawbacks like vacuum and ...
Editor’s note: This article is based upon a 2006 EDN article by Jim Williams; see Reference 1. There are six different types of FETs, but of the two major categories of FETs, enhancement mode devices ...
MOSFETs are widely used as power switching elements in regulators and motor controllers. They can be either discrete devices or integrated into ICs in various H-bridge configurations. A common ...
Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. TYPICAL HIGH-SIDE, n-channel, hot-swap “soft-switch” systems use a charge pump to drive the gate of an external MOSFET ...
Metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) have revolutionized the world of electronics due to their remarkable performance and widespread applications. The MOSFET transistor is a ...
