Our exploration of thyristors begins with a device called the four-layer diode, also known as a PNPN diode, or a Shockley diode after its

Like its bipolar cousin, the field-effect transistor may be used as an on/off switch controlling electrical power to a load.

Insulated gate field-effect transistors are unipolar devices just like JFETs: that is, the controlled current does not have to cross

A transistor is a linear semiconductor device that controls current with the application of a lower-power electrical signal. Transistors may be roughly

An ideal transistor would show 0% distortion in amplifying a signal. Its gain would extend to all frequencies. It would

Like all electrical and electronic devices, the transistor has its own limitations. Given below are top 10 transistor ratings. Power

An often-used circuit applying the bipolar junction transistor is the so-called current mirror, which serves as a simple current regulator, supplying

Input impedance varies considerably with the circuit configuration shown in Figure below. It also varies with biasing. Not considered here, the
