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… ...

Remove the voltage, and the channel vanishes—switching it “off.” Despite these technical differences, all transistors perform the same job: using a small input to control a larger output.

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

Bipolar transistors amplify current and that makes them a bit harder to use. Recently, [Jenny List] did a series on transistor amplifiers including the topic of this Circuit VR, the common emitter ...

As with many inventions, two people had the idea for an integrated circuit at almost the same time. Transistors had become commonplace in everything from radios to phones to computers, and now ...

A reconfigurable transistor can run AI processes using 100 times less electricity than the standard transistors found in silicon-based chips. It could help spur development of a new generation of ...

After two years of frustrating but very exciting work, Bardeen and Brattain created an amplifying circuit that seemed to work, using the element germanium They called it the point-contact transistor.

Using the transistor’scurrent-source property, you canmeasure this current without hinderingthe decay process in the LR circuit. The transient analysis of an LR circuitshows that if, during the off ...

Researchers Develop First Integrated Silicon Circuit With Nanotube Transistors Date: January 7, 2004 Source: University Of California - Berkeley Summary: The discovery of carbon nanotubes has ...
