We’ll dive into the basics of transistors, including the difference between NPN and PNP types, and explore their crucial role in creating electronic circuits.
A new technical paper titled “Accelerating OTA Circuit Design: Transistor Sizing Based on a Transformer Model and Precomputed Lookup Tables” was published by University Minnesota and Cadence. Abstract ...
Amplifiers have also transformed entertainment, astronomy, search and rescue, medical diagnostics, and every human endeavour where some physical change can be converted to an electric signal.
Like that shown in Figure 3, the current mirror circuit is commonly used as a current source to ‘bias’ (set the operating point) other application circuits like amplifiers or comparators. Assuming ...
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 “backwa… ...
Crazy Tube Circuits has released a limited edition twist on its Unobtanium preamp/overdrive pedal, the amp-in-a-box drive twofer that has a Klon-style drive on one side, and two Dumble tube amp ...
Bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) are cornerstone components in the complex landscape of electronic circuits, conducting the operation of amplification and signal processing. A comprehensive grasp ...
Abstract: For fast switching off of a firing single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD), an active quenching circuit in 0.35-$\mu \text{m}$ BiCMOS technology with a very fast quenching slew rate is ...
