If you ever work with a circuit that controls a decent amount of current, you will often encounter a FET – a Field-Effect Transistor. Whether you want to control a couple of powerful LEDs ...

Last time on Circuit VR, we looked at creating a very simple common emitter amplifier, but we didn’t talk about how to select the capacitor values, or much about why we wanted them. We are go… ...

At the core of every computer, smartphone, and digital device lies the transistor, a tiny but powerful component that is crucial for processing data and performing mathematical operations. But how ...

Using the transistor’scurrent-source property, you canmeasure this current without hinderingthe decay process in the LR circuit. The transient analysis of an LR circuitshows that if, during the off ...

Instead of wiring individual transistors together one by one, Kilby’s approach was to build multiple devices on a single semiconductor slab, creating a complete circuit on a chip.

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 ...

Analog circuit design using MOS transistors represents a dynamic and rapidly evolving field that is integral to modern electronics. Exploiting the inherent advantages of MOS technology—such as ...

Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley and Stanford University are announcing that they have created the first working, integrated silicon circuit that successfully incorporates carbon ...

After two years of frustrating but very exciting work, Bardeen and Brattain created an amplifying circuit that seemed to work, using the element germanium They called it the point-contact transistor.
