A power MOSFET is almost invariably used in today's high-frequency power converter applications being a voltage controlled, fast switching and majority-carrier device. However, MOSFET's major ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. As the dc-dc conversion industry proceeds toward the demand for improved power density and efficiency, thermally enhanced packages with SO-8 footprints ...

Measuring the actual collector-emitter breakdown voltage is practically impossible without destroying the device. Therefore, BVCES is the collector-emitter voltage at which no more than the specified ...

“Good, fast, cheap: choose two.” That engineering maxim is almost as prevalent as “if you can’t fix it, feature it.” That’s why I’m quite happy to have an idea that might achieve all three of those ...
