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 going to ...

The 2N2222 and BC549 transistors are two old components that are still universally used in the vast majority of electrical circuits today. Their applications include amplifiers, filters, impedance ...

Sometimes I wish FETs had become practical before bipolar transistors. A FET is a lot more like a tube and amplifies voltages. Bipolar transistors amplify current and that makes them a bit harder to ...

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

Analog circuit design using MOS transistors represents a dynamic and rapidly evolving field that is integral to modern electronics. Exploiting the inherent advantages of MOS technology—such as ...

Transistors, the building blocks of modern electronics, are typically made of silicon. Because it's a semiconductor, this ...

The circuit has been constructed to provide an in-circuit system that will test the integrity of electronic components such as Silicon Controlled Rectifiers, diodes, and PNP or NPN transistors. 4093 – ...

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 ...
