In a recently published Design Idea, Jim Hagerman proposes a two-transistor circuit that claims to replace the LTC4300 hot-swappable, two-wire LTC4300 bus buffer (“Two-transistor circuit replaces IC,” ...

The two-transistor circuit offers the additional benefit of acting as a level translator between two logic levels. This example shows a buffer-Advertisement. translation between a 3.3V system and a 5V ...

Shown in (a) and (b) are schematic diagrams (left) depicting the operating principles and experimentally measured output resistances (right) of a p-type pass-transistor (a) in the ON state, that ...

As with many inventions, two people had the idea for an integrated circuit at almost the same time. Transistors had become commonplace in everything from radios to phones to computers, and now ...
