This application note describes the basic characteristics and operating performance of IGBTs. It is intended to give the reader a thorough background on the device technology behind IXYS IGBTs. The ...

Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFETs exhibit higher blocking voltage, lower on state resistance and higher thermal conductivity than their silicon counterparts. SiC MOSFETs are designed and essentially ...

A scientific team has managed to stack 41 layers of semiconductors, multiplying the density of the circuits by six, without ...

Linear Technology's recently introduced LTC4300 chip buffers I 2 C clock and data lines to and from a hot-swappable card. This task is difficult because the IC must work bidirectionally, meaning that ...

The chipmaker plans to unveil more details behind its Tri-Gate transistor, an experimental circuit that could be important in the company's quest to keep up with Moore's Law. Michael Kanellos is ...
