Over the recent weeks here at Hackaday, we’ve been taking a look at the humble transistor. In a series whose impetus came from a friend musing upon his students arriving with highly developed ...

Just as the common emitter amplifier and common base amplifier each tied those respective transistor terminals to a fixed potential and used the other two terminals as amplifier input and output, so ...

The transistor has been around since the nineteen forties. In fact, the FET (Field Effect Transistor) was actually developed before the more common bipolar type. Bipolar transistors use semiconductor ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. The spread of h FE values in a batch of transistors may be wide enough to cause unreliable performance during mass production of a ...

The move to push semiconductor manufacturing processes to ever smaller dimensions continues with undiminished enthusiasm, even though progress may not be as quick as some in the industry have been ...

Amplification is a process of increasing the signal strength by increasing the amplitude of a given signal with out changing its characteristics. Here we will concentrate how transistor is used as ...
