When a CMOS circuit is in an idle state there is still some static power dissipation–a result of leakage current through nominally off transistors. Both nMOS and pMOS transistors used in CMOS logic ...

The first step in designing a microwave frequency power amplifier monolithic microwave integrated circuit on a given GaN foundry process is to select the transistor size and bias, writes Liam Devlin.

This year, several companies are expected to bring 600/650 V Gallium Nitride (GaN) power transistors to market. Almost all will be normally-on (depletion mode) transistors connected in a cascode ...
