This is simple circuit that illustrates the function of the programmable unijunction transistor. It may be quickly wired on a proto-board. The programmable unijunction transistor remains dormant until ...

As with many inventions, two people had the idea for an integrated circuit at almost the same time. Transistors had become commonplace in everything from radios to phones to computers, and now ...

Saswato R. Das writes about physics and astronomy. A little electronic device that triggered one of the most dramatic technological explosions in history turns 60 on Sunday. The humble transistor and ...

Building circuit boards is fun but difficult. While you could do it at home with a some etchant and some clear plastic, Voltera hopes to make the entire process much easier with their V-One circuit ...

This little circuit indicates the basic integrity of a printed board, detecting 0V, positive supply voltage from less than 3V to 30V and floating parts. If the probe is floating, as it would be in a ...

A method to produce single-layer deformable and stretchable printed circuit boards is reported and applied to enable the realization of metamorphic electronic products that can take on new ...

Transistors, the tiny switches that flip on and off inside computer chips, have long been the domain of electricity. But scientists are beginning to develop chip components that run on light. Last ...

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