But these transistors avoided major overheating issues thanks to their smart design. Temperature rose to around 283 degrees Celsius during use—hot, but still safe for GaN-based electronics.

Nintendo has made its own Discord-like chat app for the Switch 2, and it’s going to charge you for it. Once the free period is over on March 31, 2026, GameChat, and the C button that activates ...

In the same way that you use smart buttons to do things like turn on your TV or dim your lights at night, you can use them to help you with chores around your house. You can pair a smart button ...

For a PNP/NPN transistor you get h FE, V BE, and I E. For a JFET it displays the gate voltage V G for two different drain currents I D together with a value for I DSS. A MOSFET is identified with ...

A common movement sensor is the Hall effect sensor. This is a solid-state device which transduces a measurement of varying magnetic field strength into a pulse train which typically feeds an NPN or ...

Figure 2. NPN transistor Source: A.K Karthikeyan/CC [SA] [3.0] The primary difference between PNP and NPN transistors is in their biasing and polarity of their operation. While NPN transistors require ...

With over 30 million developers worldwide, Arduino’s solutions offer a powerful answer to the talent shortage in engineering and break free from vendor lock-in with a robust line of open-source ...

While the shield does have a built-in IR receiver, there is no transmitter, so I had to build my own quick-and-dirty driver/transmitter module. It consists of only 3 components — a 3-pin header socket ...

Books How Semiconductor Chips Became Too Big to Fail Chris Miller on his new book, Chip War: The Fight for the World’s Most Critical Technology.

Intel says it will squeeze 1 trillion transistors onto a chip package by 2030 by Mike Wheatley ...
