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 ...

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 ...

In Parts 1, 2, and 3 we took a closer look at calculating “ac” gain and how to desensitize the circuit to temperature and transistor parameter variations. In part 4 we consider the effects of a ...

Bias circuits for class AB buffers don't have to ruin your total harmonic distortion spec. Here's some tips on how to prevent the bias circuit from influencing the amplified signal spectrum. Bias ...

Scientists from RWTH Aachen University, AMO GmbH, AIXTRON SE, and EPFL have demonstrated power detectors based on Molybdenum disulphide (MoS 2) that operate at zero bias.

In this lesson, students build two circuits and explore how transistors function. When Bell Labs introduced the transistor in June of 1948, a spokesman proudly announced "This cylindrical object . . .
