Using Transistor as a Switch

The use of transistors for switching things ON and OFF is a key feature of proper hacking. The ability for bipolar transistors to turn things ON and OFF is one of the less known uses while transistors ...

Discrete has isolated transistor, rectifier

The CTLM1034-M832D discrete module is composed of a 40-V, 1-A VCE(sat) npn transistor, and a 40-V, 1-A low VF Schottky rectifier. The complementary CTLM1074-M832D is made of a 40-V, 1-A low VCE(sat) ...

Precision rectifier/clamp works near 0V for single-supply circuits

And here it is, modelled using LTSpice. It is the same circuit as the classic simple precision rectifier (set to pass the negative half-sine), but with the non-inverting input of the op-amp connected ...
