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 ...

Just as the common emitter amplifier and common base amplifier each tied those respective transistor terminals to a fixed potential and used the other two terminals as amplifier input and output, so ...

Determine ID and VGS for the JFET with voltage-divider bias in the figure shown. Given that for this particular JFET, the parameter values are such that VD≅7V. Calculate the gate-to-source voltage as ...

Back gating, body bias, substrate bias, and back bias all refer to a technique for dynamically adjusting the threshold voltage of a CMOS transistor. CMOS transistors are often thought of as ...

Despite recent improvements in the performance of RF LDMOS field-effect transistors (FETs), temperature drift and aging continue to affect the efficiency and linearization of power amplifiers using ...

Frequent contributor Christopher Paul recently provided us with a painstakingly conservatively error-budget-analyzed Design Idea (DI) for a state-of-the-art pursuit of a 16-bit-perfection PWM DAC. The ...
