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 ...

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 ...

When we were in school, every description of how transistors work was pretty dry and had a lot of math involved. We suppose you might have had a great instructor who was able to explain things more ...

This video explains how transistors work as switches and amplifiers in electronic circuits. Transistors control the flow of ...

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 ...

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 ...

Zetex Semiconductors has introduced a series of miniature NPN and PNP transistors for MOSFET gate driving in latest generation power supplies. ZXTN and ZXTP transistors The first bipolars to be ...

Matching a sensor interface with a programmable logic converter or controller hardware that can accept only one type of input—npn or pnp—can be difficult. The last-stage modification circuit described ...

An international team of scientists have created a tiny transistor that could one day help quantum computers process impossibly large amounts of information. The researchers are the first to make a ...
