Although transistors (BJTs) are popularly used for making amplifier circuits, these can be also effectively used for switching applications. A transistor switch is a circuit in which the collector of the transistor is switched ON/OFF with relatively larger current in response to a correspondingly switching low current ON/OFF signal at its base emitter. As an […]

Diac – Working and Application Circuits
The diac is a two-terminal device having a combination of parallel-inverse semiconductor layers, which allows the device to be triggered through both directions regardless of the supply polarity. Diac Characteristics The characteristics of a typical diac can be seen in the following Figure, which distinctly reveals the presence of a breakover voltage in across both […]

The idea was requested by Mr. Dave. Technical Specifications My name is Dave. Found your site searching for a driver circuit for a mosfet gate. I like […]
Laser Communicator Circuit – Send, Receive Data with Laser
In this article I have explained how to make a simple laser communicator circuit for sending and receiving data through laser beam. Laser has been a boon since its invention. Laser is used in wide variety of applications, from Blu-ray driver to high powered cutting torch. There are also many classifications of laser technologies. Here […]
DC Biasing in Transistors – BJTs
In simple terms, biasing in BJTs may be defined as a process in which a BJT is activated or switched ON by applying a smaller magnitude of DC is across its base/emitter terminals so that its is able to conduct a relatively larger magnitude of DC across its collector emitter terminals. The working of a […]
