Analog Devices announces the Power by Linear™ LTC3777, a 150V high efficiency (up to 99%) 4-switch synchronous buck-boost DC/DC controller, which operates from input voltages above, below or equal to the regulated output voltage. Its 4.5V to 150V input voltage range operates from a high input voltage source or from an input that has high […]
In a recently published study, a team of researchers at SUNY Polytechnic Institute in Albany, New York, has suggested that combining multiple functions in a single semiconductor device can significantly improve device’s functionality and efficiency. Nowadays, the semiconductor industry is striving to scale down the device dimensions in order to fit more transistors onto a computer

The 700V and 800V CoolMOS™ P7 power MOSFET product families have been developed for flyback based low power SMPS applications including adapter and charger, lighting, audio SMPS, AUX and industrial power. The latest 600V CoolMOS™ P7 power MOSFET family completes the portfolio by offering the third voltage class of the P7 platform, that in contrast
The new 800V CoolMOS MOSFET from Infineon Read More »
It is common to use transistors for driving resistive heating elements. However, you can use the heat that a power transistor dissipates to advantage in several situations, eliminating the need for a separate heating element because most transistors can safely operate at temperatures as high as 100°C. A typical example is in a biological laboratory,
