We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "FET",
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 Supervisors sequence up to five power supplies from
Maxim Integrated Products, which we summarised at the time by saying "The main applications for the MAX16050 and MAX16051 are servers/storage, networking and telecomms systems, where high reliability is paramount".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Controllers protect USB interfaces from
Maxim Integrated Products: "Ideal for space-constrained applications, such as cellphones, smartphones, PDAs, MP3 players and portable video players that are attached to USB ports for connectivity or charging".
In January 2008, we covered the news from AVX
concerning its AntennaGuard transient voltage suppressors
- take a look at Transient voltage suppression protects antennas
which says: "AntennaGuard varistors are suitable for protecting the FETs used in miniature RF amplifiers against ESD damage".
Take a look also at the news release from ON Semiconductor, Embedded power provides true design flexibility,
as well as Controller has flexible approach to PSU efficiency from Vishay Siliconix,
and PoE controller powers up hungry devices from Linear Technology Corp.
