and some FETs even have ESD protection diodes built in, wired between gate and source. Unlike with BJT transistors that need a constant current flow, you only need to charge a gate once for the ...

In reality a transistor is generally added to the circuit to provide enough power to control the relay, while a diode protects the ... when the BJT is ‘switched on’ but for our purposes ...

Prior knowledge needed: ECEA 5630 Semiconductor Physics, ECEA 5631 Diode Junction and Metal Semiconductor ... In this module on BJTs (bipolar junction transistors), we will cover the following topics: ...

Infineon Technologies AG has introduced the world’s first gallium nitride (GaN) power transistors with integrated Schottky ...

Infineon Technologies AG has introduced what it claims is the world’s first gallium nitride (GaN) power transistor with an integrated Schottky diode.

The four-layer diode was the key to William Shockley's plan to revolutionize AT&T's phone system. It was a great device in theory, but not in practice -- at least not at the time when Shockley ...

For hard-switched power topologies, Infineon is planning a 100V GaN transistors with a integrated Schottky diode. “Due to the lack of body diode in hard-switching applications, GaN-based topologies ...

Infineon Technologies has introduced the world’s first gallium nitride (GaN) power transistors with integrated Schottky diode for industrial use. The product family of medium-voltage CoolGaN ...
