Biasing Transistors With Current Sources

Over on his YouTube channel [Aaron Danner] explains biasing transistors with current sources in the 29th video of his Transistors Series. In this video, he shows how to replace a bias resistor (and ...

Audio output transistors eliminate thermal lag, bias trimming

Offered in a 5-lead TO-264 package, the 15-A NJL1302D (pnp) and NJ3281D (npn) ThermalTrak bipolar power transistors incorporate an internal thermally matched bias diode to eliminate warm-up time, ...

Bias-tunable temperature coefficient amplification beyond material limits in a single transistor

Thermal sensing and imaging are playing increasingly important roles in intelligent systems 1,2,3,4,5,6. Thermal imaging can function in low visibility by collecting emission from objects in the ...

All About PNP Transistors

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 “backward” but ...

Strain-dependent charge trapping and its impact on the operational stability of polymer field-effect transistors

Despite recent dramatic improvements in the electronic characteristics of stretchable organic field-effect transistors (FETs), their low operational stability remains a bottleneck for their use in ...

Transistors explained – what they are and what they do

A transistor – a word blend of "transfer" and "resistor" – is a fundamental component of today's advanced electronics. Essentially, a transistor, as one of the foundational elements of modern ...

DRAM basics and its quest for thermal stability by optimizing peripheral transistors

For decades, compute architectures have relied on dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) as their main memory, providing temporary storage from which processing units retrieve data and program code. The ...
