For the Component Abuse Challenge our hacker [Tim Williams] observes that N-P-N reads the same way forwards and backwards, so… what happens if we reverse bias one? (Note: this remark about N-P-N ...

Phoenix, Ariz. — Today On Semiconductor is using the International Consumer Electronics Showcase (CES) in Las Vegas to show off a new family of output audio transistors with internal bias control that ...

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 ...

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 move to push semiconductor manufacturing processes to ever smaller dimensions continues with undiminished enthusiasm, even though progress may not be as quick as some in the industry have been ...
