15 March 2022
Hello everyone, I am Rose. Today I will introduce a kind of sensor to you. That is CMOS Image Sensor. CMOS image sensor is a typical solid imaging sensor, which has a common historical origin with CCD. CMOS image sensor is usually composed of image sensor array, row driver, column driver, timing control logic, AD converter, data bus output interface, control interface and so on. - What is Variable Frequency Driver(VFD)?
20 October 2021
Hello everyone, I am Rose. Today I will introduce VFD to you. A variable frequency drive (VFD) is a power control device that uses power electrical technology to adjust the motor's operating power frequency and hence control the motor's speed. - Adopting GaN/Si MMIC in Space-based Applications
14 June 2024
When it comes to satellite technology, multiple applications comprising commercial to scientific domains rely heavily on efficient microwave front-ends, particularly in high-frequency bands like Ku- to Ka-bands. In satellite communication, the development of highly efficient power amplifiers (PAs) is crucial, considering the limited power supply available onboard satellites, mostly from solar cells and batteries. However, achieving power efficiency poses significant challenges, especially in high-frequency operations, which often need different enhancement approaches. Moreover, ensuring high reliability and longevity is crucial for sustained operation over several years or even decades, requiring compliance with derating rules to mitigate stress on electronic systems. - Northeast Ohio Poised to Become Major Player in Semiconductor Manufacturing Industry

22 July 2025
This article provides a comprehensive guide to designing reliable high-side switching circuits using P-channel MOSFETs, drawing from a real-world failure case shared by a Reddit user. The main issue identified was that the user's 48V system damaged the MOSFET because the gate-source voltage exceeded the device's ±20V limit (reaching -48V), and the article offers complete solutions including proper MOSFET parameter selection, using Zener diodes to clamp gate voltage, optimizing driver circuit resistor values for faster switching, and adding flyback diodes for inductive load protection, serving as a practical design roadmap for beginners in power switching applications. - GenAI Boosts Semiconductor Market with First Revenue Increase in Five Quarters
