Hey Friends! Hope you are doing great. I am back to give you a daily dose of valuable information so you can always stay ahead of your competitors. I have previously updated the article on NPN transistor that is used for amplification and switching purpose. Today, I am going to unveil the details on the Introduction to PNP Transistor which falls under the category of bipolar junction transistors and comes with three layers i.e. two P-doped layers and one N-doped layer where an N-doped layer exists between two P-doped layers.
Main Function: Small current at one terminal is used to control large current at other terminals.
Major Charge Carriers: Holes
These NPN and PNP transistors come with their own benefits based on the nature of the e ...
Hi Guys! Hope you’re well. In this post today, we’ll cover What is IGBT? We’ll also discuss IGBT Full Form, Pinout, Meaning, Symbol & Working.BJT (bipolar junction transistor) and MOSFETs (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor) are commonly used electronic switches that we’ve already studied in detail. These devices are useful when you deal with low-current applications, however, when it comes to high-current applications, these devices don’t work as expected. This is where the IGBT transistor comes in handy. This device is a combination of both BJT and MOSFET and stands fit for high-current applications.
In this post, we’ll cover What is IGBT in detail.
Let’s get started:1. What is IGBT?
IGBT is a three-pin device made of semiconductor material and is used for fast- ...
Hello Friends! I hope you are well. Today, I am going to give you a detailed Introduction to NPN transistor. In this tutorial, we'll look at the NPN transistor, how it works, circuit diagram, output characteristics curve, and applications. It is a bipolar junction transistor mainly used for current amplification and switching purposes.
BJTs (Bipolar Junction Transistor) are divided into two types i.e. NPN transistor and PNP transistor. Both transistors are different in terms of their electrical composition and construction, however, both are used for amplification and switching purposes in one way or the other.
What is NPN Transistor?
NPN transistor is a bipolar junction transistor(BJT), composed of 3 semiconductor layers in a way that o ...
Hello friends, I hope you all are happy, healthy, and, content. Today, our discussion is all about "Diodes". Whoever has been a science student, knows about diodes. Although it seems to be a tiny component of a circuit, apparently it is true but it has a lot of complexities or you can say, it's a storm in a teacup. You might have read a lot about diodes in physics, in today's discussion we would be moving step by step into the pool of diodes from definition to working of diodes, their types, and then lastly its applications. Let's get started!
Diode Definition
First things first, Let's define diode,
A diode is a basic discreet electronic component made up of semiconductor material, used in electronic circuits, which allows unidirectional c ...
Hey Guys! I hope everyone's fine. Today, we are going to have a look at What is MOSFET? We will cover MOSFET Definition, Full Form, Symbol, Working & Applications in detail.
MOSFETs are commonly used in many electronic applications. A number of MOSFETs are added in tiny memory chips or microprocessors that are widely used in cell phones and laptops. It is a voltage-controlled device that is used for amplification and switching purposes. I'll try to touch every area related to MOSFET. Let's get started.
What is MOSFET?
MOSFET is an advanced type of FET, manufactured with controlled oxidation of semiconductor, having 4 Terminals, named:
Drain(D)
Gate(G)
Source(S)
Body(B)
where,
Gate(G) Terminal is practically insul ...
Hello, Students here I am present to cover an article on a series of Electronic devices and circuit theory. The foremost article of this series is Ideal diode vs practical diode. I try to elaborate on basic to modern theory related to the diode. This component act as fundamental to many important circuit devices such as rectifiers, transformers, etc. The question which we cover in this article are;
What is a diode?
How a diode is formed? Which methodology manufacturer utilized while the formation of the diode?
What is the concept of doping and PN junction in diode theory?
How does a Diode work?
What type of biasing allows a diode to conduct? Under which situation of biasing diode offers a restriction while conducting?
Upon which cha ...
Hi Guys! Hope you are doing great. Today, we will have a look at an electronic component named Diode. We will discuss Diode working, Symbol, Applications and characteristics in detail.
A diode is an electronic component, that allows the flow of current in one direction only. It exhibits low resistance in one direction and very high resistance in the opposite direction. Whoever has been a science student, knows about diodes. Although it seems to be a tiny component of a circuit, apparently it is true but it has a lot of complexities or you can say, it's a storm in a teacup.
Diodes are normally used in rectifiers, where they convert AC signals to DC signals. They come with a wide range of applications including power conversion, radio modulation, l ...
Hello friends, I hope you all are happy, healthy and, content. We have been discussing transistors lately, from the basic definition to the types and characteristics of transistors we have covered it all. If you have a brief idea about transistors, you must be aware of the field effect transistor or you might have heard or read about it somewhere, it is one of the earliest known types of transistors which is our topic of discussion today.
Field Effect Transistors were made to cover up the lacking of previously known transistors which occupied large space and produced a lot of noise, another major problem was the low reliability of previous versions. So, let's get started with the FETs.
Definition of Field Effect Transistor
Let us define field effect transistor first,
"The Field e ...
Hello Friends, I hope you’re well today. Today, we are going to start a new tutorial series on Semiconductors. In this series, we will discuss the semiconductor components, devices, etc. in detail. We will start from the very basics and will gradually move towards complex concepts. As today's our first tutorial in this series, we will discuss the basics of semiconductors. So, let's get started:
What is a Semiconductor?
A Semiconductor Material is defined by its ability to conduct electricity and its conductive
properties lie between conductor and insulator, normally ranging between 10-6 to 10-4 (Ωm)-1.Under specific conditions, Semiconductors have the ability to act either as a pure conductor or a pure insulator.Examples of Semiconductor materials
are Silicon, Germanium, Gallium A ...
Hello friends, I hope this article finds you happy, healthy, and content. Today, we are about to discuss one of the most commonly known types of transistors which you might have heard of many times when reading about transistors, the transistor under study is none other than the “Bipolar Junction Transistor’’, also known as BJT . In this article, we will go through the basics of the bipolar junction transistor including its meaning ,definition, types, characteristics, and applications. So, let's get started.
Definition of BJT
A BJT in its full form is written as bipolar junction transistor and we can define it as,
"A bipolar junction transistor is a three-terminal semiconductor device which is made up of two PN junctions within its structure a ...
