Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) technology is a vital part of modern electronics, used in designing and manufacturing integrated circuits (ICs) that power many digital devices. CMOS ...

A University at Buffalo team has proposed a new form of power MOSFET transistor that can handle incredibly high voltages with minimal thickness, heralding an efficiency increase in the power ...

Sponsored by Texas Instruments: Though they still vie for the largest slice of the power-design pie with LDMOS and SiC MOSFETs, GaN devices offer superior specs that may ultimately make them the ...

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. has previewed a new chipmaking process that will facilitate the production of faster, more efficient data center processors. TSMC’s 1.6-nanometer process, ...

At the December 2021 IEDM conference (a conference for people who design advanced semiconductors), IBM announced it was turning transistors on their heads to keep Moore’s Law scaling alive. The new ...

Let’s continue our journey into power electronics components that are employed as switches in the switching regime while using some SPICE simulations to observe their general behavior. The switching ...

A snubber circuit limits voltage spikes in power converters. Snubbers are also used in the output of Class-D audio amplifiers for the same reasons (Fig. 1). When the transistor you use to switch the ...
