Over the recent weeks here at Hackaday, we’ve been taking a look at the humble transistor. In a series whose impetus came from a friend musing upon his students arriving with highly developed ...

We’ve previously remarked upon a generation lucky enough to be well-versed in microcontrollers and computersised electronics through being brought up on the Arduino or the Raspberry Pi but unlucky ...

This video explains what transistors are and how they function as electronic switches and amplifiers. As a core component of modern electronics, transistors control the flow of current and enable ...

WE have considered in some detail the problem of using germanium and silicon transistors as choppers in thermocouple-amplifier and other low- and medium-impedance applications. In the past, several ...

A transistor – a word blend of "transfer" and "resistor" – is a fundamental component of today's advanced electronics. Essentially, a transistor, as one of the foundational elements of modern ...

How a paper substrate and biodegradable circuitry can be used for basic circuits. How the researchers fabricated and connected active and passive devices literally “on paper.” Details of their first, ...

The objective of the circuit is to create a power supply using V-MOSFET technology to support amplifiers while producing 100 Watts power output. Vertical Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect ...
