The old-fashioned mechanical switch has many desirable attributes: near-infinite off-resistance, near-zero on-resistance, operation down to zero volts, and can be normally open or normally closed, ...

Switch-mode ICs play a dominant role in optimizing the efficiency and minimizing the size of power conversion subsystems used in consumer, computer, and industrial equipment. A switch-mode converter ...

Metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) see common use in applications ranging from the very small (like CPU transistors) to very large (power) switching applications. Although ...

Gallium nitride (GaN) is winning over the world of power electronics with its faster switching speeds and higher efficiency over that of silicon MOSFETs, which have dominated for decades. But nothing ...

Automotive incandescent bulbs have largely given way to more efficient, reliable, stylish, and even safer light emitting diodes (LEDs). LEDs turn on in a fraction of the time and are especially useful ...

Power MOSFET technology has been developed towards higher cell density for lower on-resistance. There are, however, silicon limits for significant reduction in the on- resistance with the conventional ...
