You’re going to build two simple transistor circuits, each using a single transistor. These circuits will allow you to observe the operation of a transistor as an amplifier, just as Walter ...

Transistors possess some unique characteristics that make them ideal for use in electronic circuits. They can amplify or switch signals with low power consumption, easily adapt to various circuit ...

While it is hard to imagine today, securing a license to produce transistors was difficult in the early days. What’s worse is, even with the license, it was not feasible to use the crude devices ...

Other products just use a single FET and don’t bother – failures are overall rare. Speaking of the Pinecil, it uses an unorthodox driving circuit – it has an NPN transistor, but its base ...

Bell began to license the use of transistors (for a royalty) and offered courses on transistor technology, helping spread the word throughout the industry. The first transistor available to ...
