Abstract: The paper presents a control strategy for balancing DC-link capacitor voltages in a five-level hybrid diode-clamped (5L-HDC) inverter, consisting of two half-bridges and diode-clamped cells.

The purpose of this activity is to investigate the forward and reverse current vs. voltage characteristics of an MOS field effect transistor (NMOS and PMOS) connected as a diode. The waveform ...

The fun part about logic gates is that there are so many ways to make them, with each approach having its own advantages and disadvantages. Although these days transistor-transistor logic (TTL) is the ...

Since its 1970 debut, DRAM has supplanted magnetic core memory as an essential element in von Neumann's computer architecture. By the mid-1980s, fueled by the popularity of PCs and workstations, DRAM ...

I don’t know about you, but although I like reading about electronics in a theoretical sort of way, there’s nothing I enjoy more than the hands-on building of something and then watching that thing ...

Infineon Technologies AG has introduced the world’s first gallium nitride (GaN) power transistors with integrated Schottky diode for industrial use. The product family of medium-voltage CoolGaN ...

Infineon’s CoolGaN™ Transistors with integrated Schottky diode enhance power system performance by minimizing dead time-related losses. Infineon Technologies AG has launched the world’s first gallium ...

After the transistor came of age, there was still room for the venerable vacuum tube in the burgeoning world of electronics. But even though that world is getting bigger, its parts are getting smaller ...

A remarkable proof-of-concept project has successfully manufactured nanoscale diodes and transistors using a fast, cheap new production technique in which liquid metal is directed to self-assemble ...

Scientists in the Middle East have developed a series active filter to improve power quality in grid-tied PV systems, consisting of an inductor, two capacitors, and four transistor-diode pairs. The ...
