There are numerous electronic systems that run different applications in automobiles. At the center of these electronic applications in the automotive industry are transistors. These are tiny…
Transistor oscillator Image source Quora You are working on an electric project and you need it to generate oscillations. What is the first component? that will come into your mind? For most of us, we will think of a timer. But is it the only solution? Are there alternative ways of generating and managing electronic…
Temperature is among the key parameters that you should consider when buying electronic components, including transistors. It has a direct impact on the performance and operation of transistors. This is why electronic components manufacturers usually indicate the maximum and minimum operating temperature of the devices. It simply means that in case the transistor is subjected…
Photo of transistor source Freepik Current sensing is a major feature in modern electronics applications. It is a unit that not only determines the presence of electric current in a device but is also able to quantify it. It can tell whether the presence of current is high or low. In other words, it is…
Image of transistor amplifier: source -Freepik One of the critical functions of transistors is to serve as amplifiers. They level up signals in the circuit. If it is the power signal, they ensure that the output signal is higher than the input or incoming signal. And how do they execute the amplification role? Transistors have…
Image of transistor and datashet source Freepik Before buying any electronic component, there are several things that you should look into. The first question is whether the component will be suitable for your application. Does it have enough power capacity? What about resistance? What amount of current can flow through the device without causing any…
Image source Wiki In the world of electronics, signals exist in two forms; analog and digital. In most applications, the signal is required to be converted from one form to another, depending on the needs and requirements of final users. Analog-to-digital conversion refers to a continuous electronic process of converting analog signals to digital signals.…
