V (BR)DSS (sometimes called BVDSS) is the drain-source voltage at which no more than the specified drain current will flow at the specified temperature and with zero gate-source voltage. This tracks ...

Metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) see common use in applications ranging from the very small (like CPU transistors) to very large (power) switching applications. Although ...

Sponsored by: Texas Instruments Even though gallium-nitride transistors are becoming a more popular solution in terms of power switching, the venerable MOSFET still can be used effectively in current ...

Mechanical switches can be noisy, generating multiple transient pulses that may cause faulty operation of fast digital circuits. In this design, a pair of MOSFETs are ...

Automotive incandescent bulbs have largely given way to more efficient, reliable, stylish, and even safer light emitting diodes (LEDs). LEDs turn on in a fraction of the time and are especially useful ...
