In theory, the hundreds of photons, controlled by the triggering photon, could fan out and switch off hundreds of other transistors in an optical circuit.

Researchers have reported a black phosphorus transistor that can be used as an alternative ultra-low power switch. A research team developed a thickness-controlled black phosphorous tunnel field ...

Innoscience Technology has launched a 100V bi-directional GaN-on-silicon bi-directional transistor, intended to replace a pair of back-to-back mosfets for turning a power rail on and off.

Complementary circuits integrating plastic MEMS switches and organic transistors allow us to realize large-area, flexible, high-power applications.

During the power-off transient, when the voltage goes below 4.63 V, the transistor switches off. This in turn de-energizes the relay, which then rapidly cuts off the power supplied to the relay coil.

The chipmaker will shed light on a series of changes it's making to transistors that ideally will keep a lid on the growing problem of power consumption.

In 1958, Jack Kilby at Texas Instruments built the first integrated circuit, which combined a number of transistors on a silicon chip -- another milestone in semiconductor history.

That on-chip Vdd rail powers everything on the chip, where 6V has been chosen to be high enough to drive the output device at high speed, but low enough not to forward-bias the gates of the GaN ...
