Need to switch something on or off using a microcontroller? Using a transistor is one of the best ways to do this, but how exactly do you design properly for transistor switching? [Ben Krasnow] put ...

Researchers have developed a single-atom transistor, the world's smallest. This quantum electronics component switches electrical current by controlled repositioning of a single atom, now also in the ...

For applications that require or desire a computer controlled variable current, the use of a digitally controlled potentiometer and a current mirror with degeneration provides a low cost solution. One ...

There are many cases where a power supply needs an internal current-limiter function, usually built using a current sensor, a control circuit, and a pass transistor. The current sensor itself can be a ...

You know the “just add a transistor” drill by now: a performance or functionality requirement comes up that you can’t support entirely using the blocks built into your favorite mixed-signal ...

Sieko's S-1172 has low dropout voltage and high output current, which can be attributed to the built-in transistor with low on-resistance. Sieko's S-1172 has low dropout voltage and high output ...
