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 ...

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 ...

[Ben Krasnow] put together a tutorial in which he does an excellent job of explaining the ins and outs of designing transistor control circuits. We’ve embedded his twenty-minute video after the ...

You probably also have a working knowledge that a germanium diode or a Schottky diode will have a lower forward voltage, and you’ll know in turn that a bipolar transistor will begin to turn on ...

Transistor circuits deliver all of these functionalities in electronic computing, but for large scalable logic circuits, no optical element or circuit, either active or passive, can do this and at ...

Adel Sedra, University of Waterloo ‘The complex interdependencies in wireline circuits are elucidated in this book by linking system-level aspects with rigorous transistor-level analyses. It delivers ...
