This Design Idea is a two-wire current regulator that strikes a good balance between performance and parts count. Employing three transistors, three resistors, and one LED, it achieves good regulation ...

The LM334 is not only an adjustable current source, but it is also a rectifier. Right on the front page of the TI data sheet are the words: “Reverse applied voltages of up to 20V will draw only a few ...

Download this article in PDF format. When you connect the gate to the source of a JFET (junction field-effect transistor), it becomes a two-terminal current source. The current that will flow is ...

When a defect is present, the source/drain channel current can experience random telegraph signal (RTS), jumping between two discrete current values. These arise from two possible trapped electric ...

Researchers report a new, two-dimensional transistor made of graphene and molybdenum disulfide that needs less voltage and can handle more current than today's semiconductors. University at Buffalo ...

(Nanowerk News) Wataru Mizubayashi, Shinji Migita, Hiroyuki Ota, and Meishoku Masahara of the Si Nano-Devices Group, the Nanoelectronics Research Institute of the National Institute of Advanced ...

If you got your start in electronics sometime after 1980 your first project might well have been to light up an LED. Microcontroller projects often light up an LED, too, and a blinking LED is ...

Researchers have revived and improved a once-reliable technique to identify and count defects in transistors, the building blocks of modern electronic devices such as smartphones and computers.

Download Volume 3 of the Bob Pease eBook series. Recently, a guy asked me how to draw a constant 1.00 mA from a node of a circuit. Of course, he did not tell me what volts, ohms, or frequency. But, he ...
