High voltage nanosecond pulse generation using avalanche transistors represents a transformative avenue in the field of pulsed power technology. Exploiting the intrinsic properties of avalanche ...

Using CMOS gates to generatepulses sometimes causes timinguncertainty due to gate-threshold variations.For accurate pulse widths, youcan use BJTs (bipolar-junction transistors).Basing the design on ...

Transistors, the tiny switches that flip on and off inside computer chips, have long been the domain of electricity. But scientists are beginning to develop chip components that run on light. Last ...

Physical concepts -- Characteristics, parameters, equivalent circuits -- Basic amplifier configurations -- Direct-current bias circuits -- Low-frequency amplifiers -- Power amplifiers -- High ...

Announced yesterday, researchers from Surrey and Cambridge universities and the National Research Institute in Rome have used thin-film source-gated transistor (SGT) to create compact analogue circuit ...

Future engine ignition requirements combined with the automotive "no service" trend indicated that a new ignition system is desirable for some applications. This paper reviews limitations of present ...

For a long time, I have thought that pulse generator outputs should not have adjustable amplitude and offset. Instead, they should have an adjustable top value and a separately adjustable bottom value ...
