This tester is primarily meant to test bipolar transistors. It can indicate the type of the transistor as well as identify its base, collector and emitter pins. The circuit is very simple. The ...

There are a total of 3 stability tests and to pass, all you have to do is survive until the timer runs out. The loadouts are preset for each of the tests, guiding your playstyle and the enemy types ...

Why might you need semiconductor system-level test (SLT)? As Karthik Ranganathan, director for semiconductor solutions at Astronics Test Systems, points out, if you test a 22-nm, ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. The spread of h FE values in a batch of transistors may be wide enough to cause unreliable performance during mass production of a ...

The holiday gave me a chance to play with bipolar transistor mosfet drivers again. And things did not go quite as planned. I had been using the circuit on the right quite happily from a signal ...

Manufacturing companies, particularly those that mass-produce electronic circuits, work pretty much around bipolar junction transistors, like PNP and NPN. However, choosing between these two BJTs can ...

The cost of testing a transistor will approach and may exceed the cost of manufacturing it, Professor Bashir Al-Hashimi at the University of Southampton, has warned. Al-Hashimi, who is at the ...

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 ...

This tester is intended to quickly check whether a transistor is functional or not and possibly also select two or more transistors with (approximately) equal gains. This is about the simplest ...

The Speed test is a time attack but as you progress through the 6 arenas, you’ll soon discover that passing or failing hinges on your planning technique. Running around in real time bludgeoning ...
