Dallas, Tex. — Texas Instruments Inc. (TI) said it has introduced the industry's smallest remote junction temperature sensors with a built-in local temperature sensor. Housed in a 8-lead SOT23 package ...

Accurately estimating the junction temperature of a semiconductor device is essential for ensuring its reliability, performance, and longevity. Junction temperature has a direct influence on the ...

- Analog Devices Announces Series of Low-cost Precision Thermocouple Amplifiers. NORWOOD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI), a world leader in semiconductors for mixed-signal ...

Semiconductor junctions — from the millions of transistors used in ICs to the large-area compound junctions that make high-brightness LEDs possible — can all suffer early failure due to increased heat ...

A MOSFET in the conducting state works with maximum efficiency, as the Drain-Source voltage is minimal, as is the power dissipation. But if it works in a dynamic system, the fast switching relegates ...
