In a recent post, we reviewed the basics of Spice circuit simulators. Most circuit simulations involve transistors, either as discrete components or within an integrated circuit. So it is useful to ...

The common base amplifier, on the other hand, reacts to an increased voltage on the emitter, its input, by drawing less current, and the voltage left over on the output increases.

9.4 Basic Junction Transistor Circuit Configurations As in the case of the thermionic valve, there are a number of layouts, in addition to the simple single transistor amplifier shown in Figure 9.4 or ...

This section outlines the basic characteristics and application design of general-purpose transistor output photocouplers (optical isolators). The figure shows the pin configuration of TLP785.

Circuits sometimes need a gain-of-one buffer to lower output impedance and prevent the load from interfering with the previous stage. For an application involving a 1.5-MHz, low-power transmitter and ...

Field-effect transistors fabricated from carbon nanotubes have been investigated extensively over the past two decades. This study demonstrates a nanotube-based integrated circuit design that ...

This work suggests switching circuit configurations applicable to high-speed data processing systems and utilizing graded-base transistors. The article is oriented toward obtaining the maximum ...

The effect of base-width modulation on the exact small-signal, high-frequency equivalent circuit of p-n-p (and n-p-n) junction transistors is examined. It is found that (except for the effect on the ...

Researchers in Italy have created the first integrated circuit to combine two transistors made from the “wonder material” graphene. By adapting a technique used to fabricate silicon transistors the ...
