One of the joys of writing up the entries for the 2025 Component Abuse Challenge has come in finding all the different alternative uses for the humble transistor. This building block of all modern ...

For our 2025 Component Abuse Challenge there have been a set of entries which merely use a component for a purpose it wasn’t quite intended, and another which push misuse of a part into ...

This video explains how transistors work as switches and amplifiers in electronic circuits. Transistors control the flow of current and enable signal processing in everything from small devices to ...

Nearly every piece of technology you use—from smartphones to computers—relies on one revolutionary component: the transistor.

Abstract: This letter presents the design, fabrication, and characterization of a 4H-SiC n-p-n bipolar junction transistor as a switch controlling an on-chip integrated p-i-n photodiode. The ...

Sixty years ago two scientists would start a month of experiments that would come to shape the modern world. The period of work by John Bardeen and Walter Brattain, working under William Shockley, ...

Abstract: Room-temperature continuous-wave operation of a 1.3-μm npn-AlGaInAs/InP transistor laser is successfully achieved for the first time. A threshold current of 39 mA and an external ...

32 hFE tester This hFE tester is interesting because of its simplicity and because it enables the of both PNP and NPN transistors to be measured. Further- more the measurement is independent of the ...
