You can salvage some nice motors out of optical drives but they can be tricky to control. That’s because brushless DC motors ... uses six 2N2222 transistors to protect the Arduino from excessive ...

This gets worse with long controller ... Transistor G5 offers a GaN transistor with an integrated Schottky diode appropriate for use in server and telecom IBCs, DC-DC converters, synchronous ...

The threshold voltage of a GaN transistor is typically higher than the turn-on voltage of a silicon diode, leading to a disadvantage during third quadrant operation. This gets worse with long ...
