Understanding TransistorsIn an NPN transistor, the Base is at a positive bias, the Collector at a negative bias, and reverse current flows from the Emitter to the Collector.
Digital Transistor SelectionEnter conditions such as current and resistance values, then click on the Calculate button. The result of IC/IB will be displayed, along with recommendations, items requiring confirmation, and areas needing review.
Understanding MOSFET CharacteristicsThis page explains MOSFET Parasitic Capacitance, Temperature Characteristics, Switching time and Temperature Characteristics.
ON ResistanceThe resistance value between the Drain and Source of a MOSFET during operation is called the ON Resistance.
Total Gate ChargeThe Total Gate Charge (Qg) is the amount of charge that needs to be injected into the gate electrode to turn ON the MOSFET.
Calculating Transistor Chip TemperatureThe junction temperature rises in proportion to the current consumption. The proportionality constant for this is Rth(j-a).
What is a Load Switch?A load switch is an electronic component that has no moving parts, which works somewhat like a relay.
