An NPN transistor is an electronic component used as a switch or amplifier. It has three legs: base (B), collector ©, and emitter (E). In circuit diagrams, the base is usually in the middle, the ...

Need to switch something on or off using a microcontroller? Using a transistor is one of the best ways to do this, but how exactly do you design properly for transistor switching? [Ben Krasnow] put… ...

In theory, the hundreds of photons, controlled by the triggering photon, could fan out and switch off hundreds of other transistors in an optical circuit.

There are numerous differences between NPN and PNP transistors, and even though both are bipolar junction transistors, the direction of current flow is the name of the game.

Lesson 4 Using Transistors: Let’s Get Transistorized! Overview In this lesson, students build two circuits and explore how transistors function. Objectives • To observe how a transistor ...

In the early days, PNP bipolar transistors were common, but the bulk of circuits you see today use NPN transistors. As [Aaron Danner] points out, many people think PNP transistors are “backwa… ...

Transistors are inevitable parts of Electronic circuits. The success of a circuit design lies in the selection of proper transistor type and calculation of voltage and current flowing through it.

A new technical paper titled “Accelerating OTA Circuit Design: Transistor Sizing Based on a Transformer Model and Precomputed Lookup Tables” was published by University Minnesota and Cadence. Abstract ...

Here is the circuit of an ultra sensitive IR receiver that can be used to switch on various AC devices through an IR transmitter. It uses the Photo transistor L14F1 to detect IR signals from the ...
