A Planet Analog article, “2N3904: Why use a 60-year-old transistor?” by Bill Schweber, inspired some interest in this old transistor and how it’s commonly used, and if any uncommon uses might exist.

Explains the principles of transistor switching circuits, highlighting their role in electronic computers. It contrasts transistors with vacuum tubes, emphasizing that transistors function as ...

The PDP-11/05 Console USB Adapter operates as a simple USB-to-serial bridge. To the host computer, the Console Adapter appears as a virtual COM port which can be access by a terminal program. Software ...

Amidst the advances in CMOS and wide bandgap semiconductor technology, you can easily forget that the first transistor invented by William Shockley in 1949 was a bipolar junction transistor (BJT).

Ever since the development of the first working transistors in 1947, the electronics industry has experienced tremendous growth in numerous ways. For instance, transistors allowed for the ...

What is a Programmable Unijunction Transistor (PUT)? Simple – it is a three-lead electronic semiconductor device, similar to a unijunction transistor (UJT), except that its behaviour can be controlled ...
