What is a power MOSFET? We all know how to use a diode to implement a switch. But we can only switch with it, not gradually control the signal flow. Furthermore, a diode acts as a switch depending on ...

In the wake of gallium-nitride (GaN) transistor introductions, a number of semiconductor makers have begun to reassess the role played by conventional MOSFETs. The introduction of GaN devices doesn’t ...

X-FAB, an analog/mixed-signal and specialty foundry, has launched a silicon carbide (SiC) process technology for power MOSFETs that delivers a significantly reduced cell pitch. That, in turn, enables ...

Power MOSFETs (Metal-Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors) are three-terminal silicon devices that function by applying a signal to the gate that controls current conduction between source and ...
