In this lesson, students build two circuits and explore how transistors function. When Bell Labs introduced the transistor in June of 1948, a spokesman proudly announced "This cylindrical object ...

There is another family of transistors which have analogous circuit configurations to their bipolar cousins but work in a completely different way: the Field Effect Transistors, or FETs.

As with many inventions, two people had the idea for an integrated circuit at almost the same time. Transistors had become commonplace in everything from radios to phones to computers, and now ...

Transistor circuits deliver all of these functionalities in electronic computing, but for large scalable logic circuits, no optical element or circuit, either active or passive, can do this and at ...

Gordon Moore's prediction made over 40 years ago, that the number of transistors in an integrated circuit would double roughly every 24 months, continues to be the guiding principle of the ...

Explains the principles of transistor switching circuits, highlighting their role in electronic computers. It contrasts transistors with vacuum tubes, emphasizing that transistors function as ...

The mosfet is off if the input voltage is normally less than \(2.0 V\). By looking at a circuit diagram of a transistor switching circuit, you should be able to say what the circuit is used for ...
