Why does a battery have a limit for current in amperes?
I recently learnt that the voltage of the battery (for example, a 9V battery) is constant at their bounds, whereas the battery current depends on the load that is connected to it.
If I connect a 12V ...

How do I test a MOSFET/IGBT for its maximum current and maximum voltage mentioned in the datasheet practically?
I am using an IGBT from Infineon (IGW25N120H3FKSA1). The datasheet mentions that the absolute maximum ratings for the IGBT are Vce(max) = 1200 V and Ic(max) = 25-50 A (depending on temperature). How ...

For a MOS transistor, why is the maximum voltage of it be \$V_{dd}-V_{ov}\$?
Razavi stated that
the maximum output swing at X or Y is equal to \$V_{DD}−(V_{GS}−V_{TH})\$
as shown in the following picture, the second picture is the Fig.4.3
I don't understand why the equation ...
