Choppers – A general introduction

Choppers  A chopper is basically a dc to dc converter whose main function/usage is to create adjustable dc voltage from fixed dc voltage sources through the use of semiconductors. Types of choppers The main classification of the types of choppers is given in another post. Take a look – TYPES OF CHOPPER CIRCUITS There are […]

Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) Devices

Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) Devices In this article, the first and second generation types of Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) devices are explained. During the last few years a number of different devices have been developed. MESFET was regarded as one of the earliest type of GaAs devices. The so-called ‘first generation’ of GaAs devices includes: Depletion-mode metal

Electron Velocity-Field Behaviour of Gallium Arsenide (GaAs)

Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) – Electron Velocity-Field Behaviour In this post, the graph between the electron field and the electron velocity is explained. The reason for the decrease in the drift velocity of the electrons have also been explained in detail. The charge carriers in the GaAs material that is the electrons will obtain energy as
