A previous Design Idea describes a circuit that uses an astable multivibrator to drive an LED (Reference 1). The circuit in Figure 1 uses a simpler alternative approach. The circuit uses a 2N3904 NPN ...

This is a simple flashing led circuit with 2 leds and 2 NPN transistors. It illustrates the behavior of transistors and capacitors and if you use an oscilloscope it will be very easy to determine what ...

[Eric Wasatonic] had a box of SWB2433 transistors that he had very little information about. In order to discover their properties, he fired up his curve tracer to compare these transistors with more ...

Toshiba has launched a transistor array for LED lighting and industrial, high-voltage signal transmitters. The TBD62089APG incorporates 8-bit, D-type Flip Flop circuits that support a data storage ...

Schematic and operation of a capacitorless active-matrix micro-LED pixel, where a single memristor (1M) substitutes both the storage capacitor and the driving TFT. The compact 1M cell can be ...

The transistor is probably the most important invention in electronic engineering and the basis for nearly all integrated circuits (ICs). The transistor is a three-terminal electronic device that can ...
