On Oct. 3, 1950, three Bell Labs scientists received a patent for a "three-electrode circuit element" that would usher in the ...

In the early days, PNP bipolar transistors were common, but the bulk of circuits you see today use NPN transistors. As [Aaron Danner] points out, many people think PNP transistors are “backward” but ...

The two types of standard transistors are PNP and NPN which differs in circuit symbols. The layers of semiconductor material used to make the transistor are denoted by the letters. To keep a straight ...

Transistors are tiny electronic components that act as switches and amplifiers, and they dwell at the heart of modern technology. In simple terms, a transistor can turn a flow of electricity on or off ...

One of the semiconductor devices built in almost all electronic devices such as televisions, mobile phones, and PCs is "A transistor"is. Although I have heard of the name, actually it is not generally ...

Manufacturing companies, particularly those that mass-produce electronic circuits, work pretty much around bipolar junction transistors, like PNP and NPN. However, choosing between these two BJTs can ...

Zetex Semiconductors pair of low-voltage PNP transistors feature low saturation voltages and high currents, serving as cost-effective switchers in a variety of slim-line portable applications. Zetex ...

In a development that may enable a wholly new approach to artificial intelligence, researchers at Harvard University's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have invented a type of ...

MIT researchers have now replaced silicon with a magnetic semiconductor, creating a magnetic transistor that could enable ...
