BJT Quirks

An ideal transistor would show 0% distortion in amplifying a signal. Its gain would extend to all frequencies. It would

Transistor Biasing Calculations

Transistor Biasing Calculations

Although transistor switching circuits operate without bias, it is unusual for analog circuits to operate without bias. One of the

Special Purpose Diodes

Schottky diodes Schottky diodes are constructed of a metal-to-N junction rather than a P-N semiconductor junction. Also known as hot-carrier diodes, Schottky diodes are

Introduction to Diodes

Introduction to Diodes

A diode is an electrical device allowing current to move through it in one direction with far greater ease than in the

Quantum Devices

Most integrated circuits are digital, based on MOS (CMOS) transistors. Every couple of years since the late 1960\’s a geometry

Forward biased PN junction

The PN junction

If a block of P-type semiconductor is placed in contact with a block of N-type semiconductor in Figure below(a), the

Ampacities of copper wire

Conductor Ampacity

The smaller the wire, the greater the resistance for any given length, all other factors being equal. A wire with
