Transistors are made up of semiconductor material which is most commonly used for amplification or switching purpose, although they can also be used for controlling the flow of voltage and current.

If you see the below picture of breadboard connections, you will find more capacitors than shown in the circuit diagram above. That’s because we have connected some capacitor in series and parallel to ...

The two types of standard transistors are PNP and NPN which differs in circuit symbols. The layers of semiconductor material used to make the transistor are denoted by the letters. To keep a straight ...

It is made from a sandwich of three layers of semiconductor material: two layers of n-type material, which is a semiconductor doped with elements that provide extra electrons, and one layer of p-type ...

This bipolar transistor tester can indicate the type of the transistor as well as identify its base, collector and emitter pins. The circuit is very simple. The direction of current flow from the ...

With a 4k1 collector resistor and 16mA drive into the led, the chosen (read ‘cheapest on ebay’) 6N135 is supposed to beat 1.5μs for both turn on and turn off, with typical figures of 90ns and 800ns.

Curve tracers have been a staple in Elektor since 1979. This practical project from 2009 measures and records characteristic curves of NPN/PNP bipolar transistors, N-/P-channel JFETs, and MOSFETs.
