This resistor will also protect Q2 when Q1 fails short-circuit collector to emitter. To simplify the repairs I selected a transistor with a built-in base resistor with the same pin-out as the original ...

This blog introduces you to the differences in the short-circuit behavior of SiC and IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) devices, and how the short-circuit ruggedness of CoolSiC MOSFETs is ...

Transistors are inevitable parts of Electronic circuits. The success of a circuit design lies in the selection of proper transistor type and calculation of voltage and current flowing through it. A ...

Field-effect transistors fabricated from carbon nanotubes have been investigated extensively over the past two decades. This study demonstrates a nanotube-based integrated circuit design that ...

[Kevin Darrah] wanted to make a simple 3.3V regulator without using an integrated circuit. He wound up using two common NPN transistors and 4 1K resistors. The circuit isn’t going to beat out… ...

Explains the principles of transistor switching circuits, highlighting their role in electronic computers. It contrasts transistors with vacuum tubes, emphasizing that transistors function as ...

This automatic battery-charger, built around a single transistor, starts charging when the battery voltage drops beyond a preset value and stops when once an upper preset voltage is reached.
