The transistor and the PWM-switch, the core circuit of power converters, have interesting analogs. Both have three terminals, hence three configurations. They are active devices, and each has a key ...

In many low-power applications such as USB adaptors, cell phone chargers, and system bias supplies, the low-cost quasi-resonant/discontinuous-mode flyback converter ...

Transistors, the tiny switches that flip on and off inside computer chips, have long been the domain of electricity. But scientists are beginning to develop chip components that run on light. Last ...
