Since the transistors of a standard TTL gate are saturated switches, minority carrier storage time in each junction limits the switching speed of the device.
32.
Gate drive ( or equivalent ) circuits must be designed to supply sufficient drive current to achieve the full switching speed possible with a device.
33.
Gold atoms act as highly efficient recombination centers, silicon for some high switching speed diodes and transistors is therefore alloyed with a small amount of gold.
34.
Vibrant colors, high switching speeds for video and reduced power consumption are some of the features the center has been able to successfully integrate into the technology.
35.
As the technology developed, with faster switching speeds ( increasing emissions ) and lower circuit voltages ( increasing susceptibility ), EMC increasingly became a source of concern.
36.
The tuning speed of LCTFs varies by manufacturer and design, but is generally several tens of milliseconds, mainly determined by the switching speed of the liquid crystal elements.
37.
The time taken for the acoustic wave to travel across the diameter of the light beam gives a limitation on the switching speed, and hence limits the modulation bandwidth.
38.
On some occasions, Intel technicians even fashion ultrasmall capacitors or change the width and thickness of the metal lines to speed up or slow down the switching speed of transistors.
39.
For the same power dissipation, Schottky transistors have a faster switching speed than conventional transistors because the Schottky diode prevents the transistor from saturating and storing charge; see Baker clamp.
40.
His patent also showed how the Schottky transistor could be used in DTL circuits and improve the switching speed of other saturated logic designs, such as Schottky-TTL, at a low cost.
