Generally, a rectifier is required to produce pure d.c. supply for using at various places in the electronic circuits. However,…
A transistor raises the strength of a weak signal and thus acts as an amplifier. The Below Fig shows the basic circuit…
The emitter-base junction of a transistor is forward biased whereas collector-base junction is reverse biased. If for a moment, we…
A transistor consists of two pn junctions formed by *sandwiching either p-type or n-type semicon-ductor between a pair of opposite…
Comparison of Half wave Rectifiers and Full wave Rectifiers
The below Figure shows a bias arrangement for both npn and pnp BJTs for operation as an amplifier. Notice that in…
The basic structure of the bipolar junction transistor (BJT) determines its operating characteristics. The BJT is constructed with three doped…
The pin diode consists of heavily doped p and n regions separated by an intrinsic (i) region, as shown in Figure…
A tunnel diode or Esaki diode is a type of semiconductor that is capable of very fast operation, well into…
