Able to withstand the voltage demands of medium-power motor drive circuits, ZX5T851Z npn and ZX5T951Z pnp bipolar transistors accommodate stall currents and help to keep on-state losses to a minimum.

With a collector-emitter voltage of 60 V, the ZX5T851Z (npn) and ZX5T951Z (pnp) bipolar transistors can handle the voltage demands of medium-power motor drive circuits. Features of the SOT89-packaged ...

The efficient high-current operation of the new bipolar transistors from Zetex Semiconductors meets all the performance requirements of dc motor control. Provided in the SOT89 package, they also are a ...

The topic of motors and motor control techniques is wide and varied. Part one of this two-part article will cover the principles of alternating-current (AC) motor operation and control. Part two will ...

Seeking to keep Moore's Law on pace, researchers have developed a repeatable technique for assembling a single-atom version of the transistor--the building block of semiconductors and computers.

Permanent magnet dc motors need a chunky inductor in series with them if they are fed from an SCR (thyristor) based mains power controller. It is (probably!) possible to safely interface an Arduino to ...

The big picture: Researchers from the University of California have developed a first-of-its-kind, solid-state thermal transistor that could one day be used to better control heat in electronic ...
