What is a Transistor?
- Transistors Functions Transistors have the function of amplifying and switching electrical signals.
- Outline of a Transistor This page is a description of the classification of the transistors.
- Understanding Transistors In an NPN transistor, the Base is at a positive bias, the Collector at a negative bias, and reverse current flows from the Emitter to the Collector.
- Understanding the Principles of Digital Transistors Digital transistors are conventional transistors that incorporate 2 internal resistors.
- Understanding MOSFET Characteristics This page explains MOSFET Parasitic Capacitance, Temperature Characteristics, Switching time and Temperature Characteristics.
- ON Resistance The resistance value between the Drain and Source of a MOSFET during operation is called the ON Resistance.
- Total Gate Charge The Total Gate Charge (Qg) is the amount of charge that needs to be injected into the gate electrode to turn ON the MOSFET.
- Selecting Transistors to Ensure Safe Operation This section is a description of how to select transistors safely.
- Calculating Transistor Chip Temperature The junction temperature rises in proportion to the current consumption. The proportionality constant for this is Rth(j-a).
- What is a Load Switch? A load switch is an electronic component that has no moving parts, which works somewhat like a relay.
