Additionally, most power transistors have the collector or drain physically connected to the metal enclosure.

Used for logic level conversion and driving power transistors in amplifiers.

The second breakdown is a failure mode in bipolar power transistors.

To prevent this from happening, a gate driver is provided between the microcontroller output signal and the power transistor.

Some of these chips have fairly impressive power handling; in case this is not sufficient, they can be combined with a power transistor.

The final stage is usually an amplifier consisting of many parallel power transistors.

Grosch should find that damaged power transistor within the next few minutes, he thought, which would helpfully lengthen the final checks.

Widlar created another industry first by combining a power transistor and a precise voltage reference on the same die.

Then the power transistor is driven in common drain configuration to amplify the current.

The 1130 had 120 power transistors, each wired to the print wheel solenoid for a printer column.
