Editor's Note: The following tutorial is one of a series of six on transistor theory by Howard Skolnik, retired Burr-Brown designer. In Part 1 of this series we explored the terminal impedances of a ...

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 . . .

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 ...

If the resistor and capacitor values in your circuit are not properly calculated, then the output may be distorted and the amplitude may vary with time. If the resistor and capacitor values in your ...
