We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Bipolar transistors",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Convertor copes with green energy standards from
Advanced Analogic Technologies, which we summarised at the time by saying "Synchronous step-down DC/DC convertor offers power savings in a variety of industrial applications, especially those using backplanes".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release UK distribution deal reached for semiconductors from
Anglia: "Mitsubishi high-frequency semiconductors suit wireless communications applications including mobile phones, cellular and Tetra basestations and Wimax".
In August 2007, we covered the news from Fairchild Semiconductor
concerning its FGH30N60LSD
- take a look at IGBT offers low conduction losses
which says: "The FGH30N60LSD is designed to increase system efficiency while meeting low-frequency requirements".
Take a look also at the news release from Zetex, Transistors suit new power supplies,
as well as Convertor chip claims standby savings from Advanced Analogic Technologies,
and Power ICs now tested on the wafer from Cascade Microtech.
