Ever since the development of the first working transistors in 1947, the electronics industry has experienced tremendous growth in numerous ways. For instance, transistors allowed for the ...

The transistor is probably the most important invention in electronic engineering and the basis for nearly all integrated circuits (ICs). The transistor is a three-terminal electronic device that can ...

Based on the knowledge developed in the previous tutorials, we now start the study of this important electronic component. We have thus created a PNP transistor. Figure 1: A PNP transistor. The size ...

Manufacturing companies, particularly those that mass-produce electronic circuits, work pretty much around bipolar junction transistors, like PNP and NPN. However, choosing between these two BJTs can ...

Matching a sensor interface with a programmable logic converter or controller hardware that can accept only one type of input—npn or pnp—can be difficult. The last-stage modification circuit described ...

Sziklai Transistor Pair was first designed by George Sziklai to overcome some efficiency related issues with Darlington pair, which will be discussed later in this article. It is also known as ...

The Basic Electronics book series (1959) helped spark Dr. Richard Honeycutt's fascination with tube circuits and transistors. Here he reflects on the transition from tubes to transistors. In 1960, ...

NOT gate is the simplest gate when compared to the remaining digital logic gates. The NOT gate symbol is shown below, along with the NOT gate truth table. It has one input and one output. The NOT Gate ...

Zetex Semiconductors has introduced a series of miniature NPN and PNP transistors for MOSFET gate driving in latest generation power supplies. ZXTN and ZXTP transistors The first bipolars to be ...
