Also called a "bipolar junction transistor" (BJT), it is one of two major transistor categories; the other is "field-effect transistor" (FET). Although the first transistor was bipolar and the first ...

Over the recent weeks here at Hackaday, we’ve been taking a look at the humble transistor. In a series whose impetus came from a friend musing upon his students arriving with highly developed ...

We like to pretend that our circuit elements are perfect because, honestly, it makes life easier and it often doesn’t matter much in practice. For a normal design, the fact that a foot of wire has a ...

Texas Instruments has released two precision op amps fabricated on a complementary bipolar 36V silicon germanium (SiGe) process. “This is a complementary silicon germanium process which improves the ...

For semiconductors, medical and industrial applications often present difficult operating environments with extreme temperature ranges, high levels of ESD, and high sensitivity to electronic noise.

Jin-Woo Han is senior scientist at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley. Along with colleagues Meyya Meyyappan, Myeong-Lok Seol and Jungsik Kim, he has designed a nanoscale ...

There is some hogwash out there, masquerading as engineering white papers, which are really just click bait to get your contact details. And there are some gems available for the same price. And, in ...
