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 ...

Zetex Semiconductors pair of low-voltage PNP transistors feature low saturation voltages and high currents, serving as cost-effective switchers in a variety of slim-line portable applications. Zetex ...

The ISL73096EH is a radiation hardened ultra high frequency NPN/PNP transistor array. It contains three NPN transistors and two PNP transistors on a common substrate. The device covers all of the ...

Diodes has introduced a series of low saturation npn and pnp bipolar transistors optimised for automotive power switching and control. “With BVceo up to 100V, continuous current to 10A – and 20A peak ...

There was no doubt about it, point-contact transistors were fidgety. The transistors being made by Bell just didn't work the same way twice, and on top of that, they were noisy. While one lab at Bell ...

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 ...

The history of the transistor and similar types. How transistors made an impact on the world. How grudges eventually subside. Transistors are simple electronic devices that boost or switch electrical ...
