TSMC’s roadmap announcement for their 28 nm node yesterday has stirred considerable controversy already. The issue is the company’s decision to divide their process development into two tracks: one to ...
As part of its research into GaN transistor power supplies, the University of Bristol has created the fastest active gate driver ever – 10x quicker than anything reported so far. Active drivers ...
This gate-drive transformer (GDT)circuit allows the drive signal to the MOSFET to range from 50% down to 0%, while still offering a fast turn-off that cannot be accomplished with a simple load ...
How is peak current defined? A close look at datasheet headlines and how they vary. A case study that compares different drivers and peak currents. One question often comes up when considering what ...
Ferroelectric FETs and memories are beginning to show promise as researchers begin developing and testing next-generation transistors. One measure of the efficiency of a transistor is the subthreshold ...
If you are going to use a silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor) in your next development, you will ask yourself: how do I develop the best gate driver for it ...
In 1958, the first integrated circuit flip-flop was built using two transistors at Texas Instruments. The chips of today contain more than 1 billion transistors. The memory that could once support an ...
One common question asked when considering what gate driver to use for an application is: what is the peak current that a driver can deliver? Peak current is one of the most important parameters in ...
