ThermalTrak integrates power output transistors with thermal bias diode. One of the major design concerns in the output section of a typical class AB audio amplifier is output bias and stability over ...

In 1960, many engineers were just starting to learn about transistors. Without an Internet, engineers relied on books, conference papers, and magazines to get technical information. In a series of ...

The most recent installment of [Dino Segovis’] Hack a Week covers the construction of a simple NPN transistor audio preamp. Some time ago, he built a small audio amplifier using an LM386 which worked ...

EPC recently introduced the EPC2106, an enhancement-mode monolithic GaN transistor half bridge. By integrating two eGaN® power FETs into a single device, interconnect inductances and the interstitial ...

Millions of guitar player can’t be wrong. Well over 80% of guitar amplifiers new and existing still use vacuum tubes. Based on my experience, that could really be over 90%. Nevertheless, most guitar ...

A new device concept opens the door to compact, high-performance transistors with built-in memory. (Nanowerk News) Transistors, the building blocks of modern electronics, are typically made of silicon ...

For decades prior to the advent of the transistor, the amplification of electrical signals was achieved through the use of vacuum tubes. Invented in 1904 by British electrical engineer John Ambrose ...

Transistors have come a long way. Like everything else electronic, they’ve become both better and cheaper. According to a recent IEEE article, a transistor cost about $8 in today’s money back in the ...
