Programmable Unijunction Transistors (PUT)
(23 companies)
Programmable uni-junction transistors (PUT) are three-terminal thyristors that are triggered into conduction when the voltage at the anode exceeds the voltage at the gate. The PUT is similar to the UJT, but its intrinsic standoff ratio can be set by two external resistors. Hence, the term "programmable " is used.
Metal-Oxide Semiconductor FET (MOSFET)
(228 companies)
Metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) are electronic switching devices with a conducting channel as the output. An electrode called a gate controls the width of the channel and determines how well the MOSFET conducts.
Power MOSFET
(199 companies)
Power MOSFETs are majority carrier devices which have high input impedance and do not exhibit minority carrier storage effects, thermal runaway, or secondary breakdown. Power MOSFETs have higher breakdown voltages than bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) and can be used in higher frequency applications where switching power losses are important.
Curve Tracers
(16 companies)
Curve tracers vary a parameter and measure another to analyze the characteristic curves of discrete semiconductor devices such as diodes, transistors, and thyristors.

DRAM and SDRAM Memory Chips
(195 companies)
Dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chips are single-transistor memory cells that use small capacitors to store each bit of memory in an addressable format that consists of rows and columns. Because capacitors are unable to hold a charge indefinitely, DRAM memory chips require a near-constant pulse of current to retain stored information.
Linear Power Supplies
(167 companies)
Linear power supplies accept AC inputs and provide one or more DC outputs for a wide variety of computer and industrial applications. They use an active element (normally a power transistor) operating in its linear region to generate a desired voltage.
