Field Effect Transistor /FET/ circuit for variable gin amplifiers

Amplifier circuit using two FETs combines improved input and output impedances with relatively large signal handling capability and an immunity from adverse effects of automatic gain control. Circuit has sources and drains in parallel plus a resistive divider for signal and bias to either of the gate terminals.

Transistor current and voltage limiting switch

Limiting circuit protects the main power supply of electronic modules and limits the current drawn by each module should a short circuit occur. It limits current within one mA when used with direct current of either polarity, or with pulse or ac power sources from direct current to 100 kHz.

Study of second breakdown in power transistors using infrared techniques

Infrared thermal maps pinpoint exact location where second breakdown will occur before phenomenon happens and before physical damage develops at hot spot. Crystal structure analysis at that point determines cause of fault. Absolute power of radiation emitted from hot spot is direct indication of voltage level at which second breakdown occurs

The influence of degeneracy on the emitter efficiency of a bipolar transistor

An expression for the emitter efficiency is derived taking the degeneracy of the emitter into account. It is found that, even if there is no recombination of minority carriers in the emitter, degeneracy reduces the emitter efficiency. In addition this first order theory explains experimental results on temperature dependence of current gain and predicts an optimum emitter design for a fixed type of emitter profile.
