  2. Bipolar junction transistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_junction_transistor

    Simplified cross section of a planar NPN bipolar junction transistor. BJTs consists of three differently doped semiconductor regions: the emitter region, the base region and the collector region. These regions are, respectively, p type, n type and p type in a PNP transistor, and n type, p type and n type in an NPN transistor.

  3. 2N3906 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2N3906

    The 2N3906 is a commonly used PNP bipolar junction transistor intended for general purpose low-power amplifying or switching applications. [1] [2] It is designed for low electric current and power and medium voltage, and can operate at moderately high speeds. It is complementary to the 2N3904 NPN transistor. [3]

  4. Open collector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_collector

    For an NPN open emitter output, the collector is connected to the positive voltage rail, so the emitter outputs a high voltage when the transistor is on and is hi-Z when off. For a PNP open emitter output, the collector is connected to the low voltage supply, so the emitter outputs a low voltage when the transistor is on and is hi-Z when off.

  5. 2N3904 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2N3904

    The 2N3904 is a common NPN bipolar junction transistor used for general-purpose low-power amplifying or switching applications. [1] [2] [3] It is designed for low current and power, medium voltage, and can operate at moderately high speeds. It is complementary to the 2N3906 PNP transistor. Both types were registered by Motorola Semiconductor in ...

  6. Curve tracer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve_tracer

    The Type 575 Transistor-Curve Tracer displays the dynamic characteristic curves of both NPN and PNP transistors on the screen of a 5-inch cathode-ray tube. Several different transistor characteristic curves may be displayed, including the collector family in the common-base and common emitter configuration.

  7. TL431 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TL431

    According to stability boundary charts published in the original datasheet, TL431 is absolutely stable when C L is either less than 1 nF, or greater than 10 μF. [21] [22] Inside the 1 nF–10 μF range the likelihood of oscillation depends on the combination of capacitance, I CA and V CA. [21] [22] The worst-case scenario occurs at low I CA ...

  8. Semiconductor device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiconductor_device

    The manufacture of semiconductors controls precisely the location and concentration of p- and n-type dopants. The connection of n-type and p-type semiconductors form p–n junctions . The most common semiconductor device in the world is the MOSFET (metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor ), [ 1 ] also called the MOS transistor .

  9. Avalanche transistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avalanche_transistor

    Since the device used is an NPN transistor, is a positive going output while is a negative going output: using a PNP transistor reverses the polarities of outputs. The description of their simplified versions, where resistor R E {\displaystyle R_{E}} or R L {\displaystyle R_{L}} is set to zero ohm (obviously not both) in order to have a single ...
