ThermalTrak integrates power output transistors with thermal bias diode. One of the major design concerns in the output section of a typical class AB audio amplifier is output bias and stability over ...

RF power amplifiers with LDMOS and GaAs transistors can provide excellent performance but require temperature-compensated bias circuitry. This article discusses how a programmable, linear ...

Back gating, body bias, substrate bias, and back bias all refer to a technique for dynamically adjusting the threshold voltage of a CMOS transistor. CMOS transistors are often thought of as ...

Sometimes I wish FETs had become practical before bipolar transistors. A FET is a lot more like a tube and amplifies voltages. Bipolar transistors amplify current and that makes them a bit harder to ...

There are times when you need to bias a low-current load and simply didn’t want to add another voltage regulator, or where you need a reasonable level of voltage accuracy, so a simple voltage divider ...
