It’s not as though you create complex transistor circuits in the way your 1960s equivalent would have done, but it’s still pretty fundamental to working with electronics even in 2018.

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 ...

Texas Instruments—known for calculators—was actually behind some of the biggest breakthroughs in tech history. From inventing ...

The circuit uses a 2N3904 NPN transistor and a 2N3906 PNP transistor, which operate as a high-gain amplifier. See all of EDN 's Design Ideas: The 1-MΩ resistor supplies bias current. The 1-kΩ resistor ...

Last time on Circuit VR, we looked at creating a very simple common emitter amplifier, but we didn’t talk about how to select the capacitor values, or much about why we wanted them. We are go… ...

A very simple but highly efficient combination lock circuit is shown in ... S3, S5, S8, S9, and S10). These switches need to be "ON" (binary state "1") to forward-bias the transistor, energize ...

The heat-driven transistor opens the possibility of many new applications such as detecting small temperature differences, and using functional medical dressings in which the healing process can ...

The response of the series circuit of Figure 2c (red) is twice as flat as the simple single-transistor circuit, and it has less variation over temperature than the cascode. 3.

The transistor came in a little can, a few millimetres on the sides, with three wires coming out. It was pretty simple to convert the circuit. I went home and told my wife the transistor probably ...

Transistors, the tiny switches that flip on and off inside computer chips, have long been the domain of electricity. But scientists are beginning to develop chip components that run on light. Last ...
