Over the recent weeks here at Hackaday, we’ve been taking a look at the humble transistor ... you might use one. A diagram of an n-channel JFET. As the negative gate voltage on the p-type ...

Transistors wired in series and parallel patterns make up "gates," which accept binary ... OR only needs one. NOT reverses the input. For a diagram of these actions, see Boolean gates.

With transistors and logic gates as our basic building blocks, we can begin to construct the actual circuits that make ... they are not practical for handling larger amounts of information.
