PN Junction Diode
A PN-junction diode is formed when a p-type semiconductor is fused to an n-type semiconductor creating a potential barrier voltage…
PN Junction
A PN-junction is formed when an N-type material is fused together with a P-type material creating a semiconductor diode. In…
Semiconductor
If resistors are the most basic passive component in electrical or electronic circuits, then we have to consider the Signal…
Transistor as a Switch
Transistor switches can be used to switch a low voltage DC device (e.g. LED’s) ON or OFF by using a…
PNP Transistor
The PNP Transistor is the exact opposite to the NPN Transistor device we looked at in the previous tutorial. Basically,…
NPN Transistor
NPN Transistors are three-terminal, three-layer devices that can function as either amplifiers or electronic switches. In the previous tutorial we…
