An NPN transistor is a type of bipolar junction transistor (BJT) that is commonly used in electronics for amplification and switching tasks.

In the standard form of a flyback converter, the leakage inductance of the transformer creates a voltage spike on the drain of the primary field-effect transistor (FET).

Following his achievement of the 2024 Millennium Technology Prize, Electronic Specifier recently spoke with the inventor of the IGBT, Professor Bantval Jayant Baliga, on what it means to him and what he hopes to see in the future.

The 2024 Millennium Technology Prize has been awarded to Professor Bantval Jayant Baliga of North Carolina State University for his groundbreaking innovation, the commercialisation of the Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) which has significantly reduced global electrical energy consumption and fossil fuel use.

If someone asked you what topology to use for an isolated, low-power output, chances are your first thought would be a flyback. Although a flyback is an excellent topology with benefits such as low cost, low component count and ease of adding additional outputs, it still has several drawbacks. The field-effect transistor (FET) and rectifier ringing associated with flyback transformer leakage inductance create electromagnetic interference (EMI), r...

Electronic Specifier takes a look at the top 5 power products to have been released in August 2024.

Charlie Munoz, Marketing Manager for the BLDC Motor Drivers at Texas Instruments, explores how GaN is enabling new gains in household energy efficiency and cost.

Nexperia has unveiled an expansion of its range of power bipolar junction transistors (BJTs), introducing ten standard and ten automotive-qualified products housed in DFN2020D-3 packaging.

Moore’s Law states that the number of transistors on a microchip doubles approximately every year, but how long will Moore’s Law last?
