Solid-state device technologies, which are available to the amplifier designer, fall, broadly, into three categories: bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) and junction diodes; junction field effect ...

Sometimes I wish FETs had become practical before bipolar transistors. A FET is a lot more like a tube and amplifies voltages. Bipolar transistors amplify current and that makes them a bit harder to ...

This application note presents the ISL73096RH/ISL73127RH/ISL73128RH transistor arrays and focuses on designing RF amplifiers employing these featured transistor ...

Last time I showed you how to set up a reasonably complex design in a spreadsheet: a common emitter bipolar transistor amplifier. Having the design in a spreadsheet makes it easy to do “what if” ...

Although most people aren’t aware of insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs), they do enjoy their benefits. From air conditioners to electric cars to stereo amplifiers, the modern world relies on ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. Use of differential signaling in analog front ends is increasing across a range of applications, from audio processing to factory automation.

A transistor fabricated from the crystalline phase of an organic semiconductor material could provide a path to improved switching speeds — rivalling those of devices built from inorganic materials ...

Learn how power amplifiers work, the common types, and what to lookout for when shopping for amps. You have to find out if the amplifier is a Class A/B analog amp or a Class D digital amplifier before ...

Rotel just released the high performance RB-1582MKII (200-watt x 2) and RB-1552MKII (120-watt x 2) class A/B stereo power amplifiers. Each amplifier is built with an engineering philosophy called ...
