Transistor Definition and 508 Threads

My goal is to use a single signal to do two things at the same time...when DC signal is applied turn transistor1 off and turn transistor2 on. Then when signal is not applied transistor1 returns to on and transistor2 returns to off. Frequency will be no more than 60Hz. What would this circuit...

In obtaining the materials to build a transistor, should one choose wafers of the same Miller indexes? Will the lattice structure affect the interaction between two wafers?

So far the explanation on BJT working principle always explained in electron flow perspective. I felt it's hard to relate with conventional current direction notation when the explanation explained in electron flow direction notation. For example in NPN transistor, the C-E current flow made me...

I would like to know how carriers flow in a bipolar junction transistor when working in saturation mode. Normally, electrons would flow from the emitter to the base. Then, from the base, some recombine with holes nad leave, forming the base current, and the others (the majority) diffuse in the...

Hey all, When a Bipolar Junction Transistor is "OFF" (i.e., Vb = 0), what are typical Emitter-Collector impedances? We are using a switching BJT as a switch for a stepper motor, however, we have just realized that the impedance is rather low when the transistor is off (470 Ohms). I would have...

I need to understand how does an amplified signal gets clipped depending upon the biasing voltage level? It says that upon insufficient biasing, the output voltage becomes constant, but how? Please if you attach this link:- http://www.electronics-tutorials.ws/amplifier/amp_4.html I mention you...

Hi, I started using Proteus Isis and was playing around just to get used to it. I designed a simple transistor circuit that should work in the saturated region. The LED needs 2.3V. For saturation, the collector and emitter terminals should be shorted or have a tiny voltage drop across it. So...

Hi, Reffering to the attached image, I wonder how total power dissipation is defined in each case; "Tamb < 25C" and "Tc < 25C" respectively. I suspect that Tc is referring to usage with a heat-sink , but it makes no sense as the TO92 case is not well suited for heat sinks. Thanks in advance!

My professor asked me to provide a circuit design for a voltage divider biasing circuit whereby the transistor beta is independent of the voltage gain, which he wants to be -100. I maintain this is impossible, as Ic = B*Ib, changing the beta obviously effects the gain. Right? (not...

From what I've read about transistors, I thought that I could find the hfe value in the data sheet, then apply a current to base and have the emmitter-collector throughput at a level of base*hfe. It sounded simple, and I was going to have a few different resistors for controlling base current...

I am in the middle of designing a low drift and low ripple power supply for myself. To control the output voltage, which ranges from 0 to 20V, I am using an op amp whose output is fed into a Darlington pair of power bjts. The output of the Darlington pair is both fed back to the op amp's...

Not another "How does a transistor amplify" thread I used to think solid state components such as transistors amplified signals. This may be correct, but it most certainly needs elaborating. Transistors themselves do NOT amplify signals. It is my understanding that transistors take an input...
