    摘要: A method of fabricating a field effect transistor including doping a continuous blanket layer in a semiconductor substrate structure adjacent the surface to include a source area and a drain area spaced from the source area. A high dielectric constant insulator layer is positioned on the surface of the semiconductor substrate structure overlying the continuous blanket layer to define a gate area between the source and drain areas. A gate contact on the insulator layer is selected to provide a work function difference that depletes the doped layer beneath the insulator layer. Further, the doped layer depth and dosage are designed such that the doped layer is depleted beneath the insulator layer by the selected work function difference of the gate contact and the semiconductor substrate.

    摘要: A ferroelectric transistor (72) is programmed with a gate voltage that shifts a threshold voltage of the ferroelectric transistor (72). The shifted threshold voltage generates a correction current (.DELTA.I.sub.(N-1)) in a combination circuit (52) that trims an output voltage of a DAC trim circuit (50). A ferroelectric material (32) of the ferroelectric transistor (72) stores a charge in accordance with a programming voltage and allows a dynamic adjustment of the correction current (.DELTA.I.sub.(N-1)) that is used to modify the output voltage of the DAC trim circuit (50).

    摘要: A battery pack with reduced magnetic field emissions includes a plurality of cells (1301,1302) coupled electrically together by a first electrical conductor (1307) and a second electrical conductor (1308). The first electrical conductor (1307) couples positive terminals (1305,1306) to a terminal block (1311), while the second electrical conductor (1308) couples the negative terminals (1303,1304) to the terminal block (1311). Each cell (1301,1302) contains an asymmetrical internal electrode construction (1313,1314) having electrical tabs (502,503) coupled to a cathode and anode. The cells (1301,1302) can be arranged with their corresponding asymmetrical internal electrode constructions (1313,1314) oriented in different directions to reduce magnetic field emissions. The first electrical conductor (1307) and second electrical conductor (1308) can be routed such that magnetic fields generated by discharge currents tend to reduce other magnetic fields produced by other components within the battery pack.

    摘要: A fuel cell system is protected by monitoring at least one fuel cell parameter, comparing the parameter to a preset level, and disconnecting or reconnecting a main load in response to the fuel cell parameter. For example, a fuel cell system (300) is provided with a protection circuit (304, 308) that prevents operation of the fuel cells in the negative dP/dI region. System (300) includes a stack of fuel cells (302) connected in series and coupled to a main load (310). A controller (304) provides a control signal (314) based on the individual fuel cell voltage levels falling above or below a preset level. Control signal (314)is used to control a load switch (308)coupled between the stack of fuel cells (302) and the main load (310). The load switch (308) disconnects the main load (310) in order to prevent operation of the fuel cell cells in the negative dP/dI region.
