[Chuck] has designed, printed and explained the workings of a BJT transistor using a 3D printed model. We really like this model because it goes a long way to shed light on some of the more subtle ...

Also called a "bipolar junction transistor" (BJT), it is one of two major transistor categories; the other is "field-effect transistor" (FET). Although the first transistor was bipolar and the ...

A transistor made using two atomically thin materials sets size record A key transistor component is made from the edge of a sheet of graphene.

The transistor and the PWM-switch , the core circuit of power converters, have interesting analogs. Both have three terminals, hence three configurations.

Transistors are no doubt one of humankinds greatest inventions. However, the associated greatness brings with it unprecedented complexity under the hood. To fully understand how a transistor works ...

In this module on BJTs (bipolar junction transistors), we will cover the following topics: BJT Device structures, Energy band diagrams, Active bias, Leakage current, Recombination in base, Hoe ...

A BJT transistor with an emitter degeneration resistor (Re ) is shown in Figure 1 . Figure 1 A BJT transistor with an emitter degeneration resistor (Re ) Note the following equations for the ...

At the very least, the transistor could revolutionize communications and radio signals, something that would give the US Army an advantage if the invention was kept a secret from other countries.

They were the first company to produce silicon transistors -- and consequently the first company to produce a truly consistent mass-produced transistor. Scientists knew about the problems with ...
