Hey Friends! Hope you are doing great. I am back to give you a daily dose of valuable information so you can always stay ahead of your competitors. I have previously updated the article on NPN transistor that is used for amplification and switching purpose. Today, I am going to unveil the details on the Introduction to PNP Transistor which falls under the category of bipolar junction transistors and comes with three layers i.e. two P-doped layers and one N-doped layer where an N-doped layer exists between two P-doped layers. Main Function: Small current at one terminal is used to control large current at other terminals. Major Charge Carriers: Holes These NPN and PNP transistors come with their own benefits based on the nature of the electronic project, however, NPN transistors always deem ...
Hello Friends! I hope you are well. Today, I am going to give you a detailed Introduction to NPN transistor. In this tutorial, we'll look at the NPN transistor, how it works, circuit diagram, output characteristics curve, and applications. It is a bipolar junction transistor mainly used for current amplification and switching purposes. BJTs (Bipolar Junction Transistor) are divided into two types i.e. NPN transistor and PNP transistor. Both transistors are different in terms of their electrical composition and construction, however, both are used for amplification and switching purposes in one way or the other. What is NPN Transistor? NPN transistor is a bipolar junction transistor(BJT), composed of 3 semiconductor layers in a way that one P-doped layer(Base) is sandwiched between two N-do ...
Hi Guys! Hope you are doing great. Today, we will have a look at an electronic component named Diode. We will discuss Diode working, Symbol, Applications and characteristics in detail. A diode is an electronic component, that allows the flow of current in one direction only. It exhibits low resistance in one direction and very high resistance in the opposite direction. Whoever has been a science student, knows about diodes. Although it seems to be a tiny component of a circuit, apparently it is true but it has a lot of complexities or you can say, it's a storm in a teacup. Diodes are normally used in rectifiers, where they convert AC signals to DC signals. They come with a wide range of applications including power conversion, radio modulation, logic gates, temperature measurements and cur ...
Hey Guys! Hope you are doing great. Today, I am going to discuss the details on the Introduction to BJT (Bipolar Junction Transistor) . It is an electronic component mainly used for amplification and switching purpose. As the name suggests, it is composed of two junctions called emitter-base junction and collector-base junction. Don't confuse BJT with regular transistors. A transistor is a semiconductor device, comes with three terminals that are used for external connection with electronic circuits. A transistor is termed as a trans resistor which is used as switch or gate for electronic signals. Small signals applied between one pair of its terminals are used to control much larger signals at the other pair of terminals. Actually, transistors are divided into two categories called unipol ...
Hey Guys! I hope everyone's fine. Today, we are going to have a look at What is MOSFET? We will cover MOSFET Definition, Full Form, Symbol, Working & Applications in detail. MOSFETs are commonly used in many electronic applications. A number of MOSFETs are added in tiny memory chips or microprocessors that are widely used in cell phones and laptops. It is a voltage-controlled device that is used for amplification and switching purposes. I'll try to touch every area related to MOSFET. Let's get started. What is MOSFET? MOSFET is an advanced type of FET, manufactured with controlled oxidation of semiconductor, having 4 Terminals, named: Drain(D) Gate(G) Source(S) Body(B) where, Gate(G) Terminal is practically insulated from the entire assembly by a thin layer of Silicon-oxide(SiO2) . Body(B) ...
Hello Guys! I hope you are doing great and having fun. I am back to give you a daily dose of knowledge that will enhance your learning skills and put you ahead of others. Today, I am going to give you details on the Introduction to JFET. It is a Junction Field Effect Transistor that consists of three terminals named drain, source and gate. It comes in two configurations called the P-Type channel and the N-Type channel. I'll give you brief details on JFET and try to cover as many aspects as possible. Let's get started: Introduction to JFET JFET (Junction Field Effect Transistor) is a uni-polar voltage-controlled device that consists of three terminals called drain, source and gate. Unlike bipolar junction transistors which are bipolar current-controlled devices in which a small amount of ba ...
