    Ok Twitter. Let’s put this website to work for what we all know it was truly intended — What’s the best pun you’ve ever shipped or spotted, esp in formal writing? (extra-especially in technical documentation.)

        And yes, I know that transistor man is for BJTs, but maybe he has a MOSFET cousin who is a day drinker.

        In the early 2000s, power electronics company IXYS had a bunch of products with prefix ISO- (maybe to connote stability). Then they came out with a driver chip line ISOSMART. (yes I _am_ so smart for choosing this part, thanks ixys.) http://www.mouser.com/ds/2/205/96528-292476.pdf …
