A Planet Analog article, “ 2N3904: Why use a 60-year-old transistor? ” by Bill Schweber, inspired some interest in this old ...
Transistors, the building blocks of modern electronics, are typically made of silicon. Because it's a semiconductor, this ...
MIT engineers built a magnetic transistor from chromium sulfur bromide, promising smaller, faster electronics with built-in ...
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 “backward” but ...
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 ...
A versatile signal-conditioning circuit for use with with programmable logic converters or controllers that can accept only one input polarity. Matching a sensor interface with a programmable logic ...
