Resistor-Equipped Transistors (RETs)

Developments in the electronics area (or is it an arena?) are never at a standstill. Whenever there is something substantially new to report it is almost always related to complex chips. However, Philips proves that new developments are possible even with what you thought were dead-standard components. For example, take the new range of transistors with the name ‘RET’ – meaning Resistor Equipped Transistor.
