When a Hackaday article proclaims that its subject is a book you should read, you might imagine that we would be talking of a seminal text known only by its authors’ names. Horowitz and Hill ...

The first transistor was about half an inch high. That's mammoth by today's standards, when 7 million transistors can fit on a single computer chip. It was nevertheless an amazing piece of technology.

The electronic transistor and the logic gates based on it have qualitative features that are crucial for systems of any complexity, but very few optical transistors or logic devices possess them 3.

A transistor – a word blend of "transfer" and "resistor" – is a fundamental component of today's advanced electronics. Essentially, a transistor, as one of the foundational elements of modern ...

Transistor Operating Principle The transistor came forth as the first semiconductor device that could reproduce the major characteristics of electronic devices obtained earlier with vacuum tube ...

For example, you can insert a resistor, a capacitor, an inductor, a diode, or a transistor and get a readout of which pin is which. It seems like magic, but [Andreas Spiess] did the research on ...

Transistors are small, versatile semiconductor devices designed to switch or amplify electronic signals and power. Almost all electronic devices today contain one or more transistors. Some transistors ...

In this lesson, students build two circuits and explore how transistors function ... using each method listed below. In your lab book, make a table similar to the one shown in which to record ...

And there are some gems available for the same price. And, in my opinion, ‘BJT. Bipolar junction transistor application handbook‘ from Nexperia is one of the gems. The price is handing over your name, ...

A type of 3D FinFET transistor from Intel introduced in 2011 with its Ivy Bridge microarchitecture. The Tri-Gate design is considered 3D because the gate wraps around a raised source-to-drain ...
