This so-called diode-resistor logic, or DRL, was used in solid-state computers everywhere possible during this period, with transistors used only where an inverter was required.

If you ever work with a circuit that controls a decent amount of current, you will often encounter a FET – a Field-Effect Transistor. Whether you want to control a couple of powerful LEDs, sw… ...

Both the diode and the transistor books are replete with parameter definitions and industry-standard symbols. The transistor book covers bipolar transistors, insulated-gate bipolar transistors, ...

This novel ultra-thin transistor is claimed to be superior to those used in today’s electronics. Specifically, the scientists boast of rapid nanosecond switching speeds and remarkable durability.

As a result, series PIN switches are preferred in applications that emphasize linearity. General RF characteristics of PIN diode The PIN diode consists of a layer of intrinsic (high resistivity) ...

Fraunhofer IAF has developed a monolithic bidirectional switch with a blocking voltage of 1200 V using its GaN-on-insulator technology. The switch contains two free-wheeling diodes and can deliver ...

While diode lasers have two ports – an electrical input and a light output – the transistor laser has three ports – an electrical input and electrical and light outputs. The three port design is said ...

By using a carefully tuned laser pulse, the researchers are able to use fullerene to switch the path of an incoming electron in a predictable way. This switching process can be three to six orders of ...

Complementary circuits integrating plastic MEMS switches and organic transistors allow us to realize large-area, flexible, high-power applications.
