To maximize system efficiency, buck regulators minimize power loss in the switching MOSFETs, inductor, capacitors, controller, and printed circuit board traces. Fairchild’s TinyBuck® family of ...

Many power applications ranging from luminescent and fluorescent lighting to telephone-ringing voltage generators require a more or less sinusoidal-drive voltage. These applications typically require ...

In the realm of modern electronics, semiconductor diodes have emerged as fundamental components with diverse applications. One of their pivotal roles lies in the fields of rectification and voltage ...

High-voltage silicon-carbide (SiC) MOSFETs and diodes combine the advantages of fast switching speeds and very low switching losses. This allows power converters designed with them to operate at ...

In the first part of this series, we took a look at a “toy” negative-differential-resistance circuit made from two ordinary transistors. Although this circuit allows experimentation with ...
