The switching speed of a power MOSFET charge-controlled device depends on the speed with which an associated gate driver circuit can charge its input capacitance. For the last 20 years, many excellent ...

P-channel MOSFETs can simplify designs when you use them as high-side switches on circuits with voltages exceeding 100V dc. When driving a MOSFET, you must rapidly charge and discharge the input ...

Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. TYPICAL HIGH-SIDE, n-channel, hot-swap “soft-switch” systems use a charge pump to drive the gate of an external MOSFET ...

(Nanowerk News) As our electronics continue to proliferate and become more sophisticated, the race continues for more power efficient and scaleable semiconductor devices — components that use minimal ...

Digital oscilloscopes are the norm in most engineering labs, but the chances are that you have not fully explored their features. Among the more interesting features of a digital oscilloscope is the ...
