In BJTs or bipolar transistors, transfer characteristics can be understood as plotting of an output current against an input-controlling magnitude, which consequently exhibits a direct “transfer” of variables from input to output in the curve represented in the graph. We know that for a bipolar junction transistor (BJT), the output collector current IC and the […]

How MOSFETs Work: Depletion Type, Enhancement Type
Two main types of FETs that presently exist are: JFETs and MOSFETs. MOSFETs can be further classified into depletion type and enhancement type. Both these types define the fundamental mode of operation of MOSFETs, while the term MOSFET itself is the abbreviation of metal-oxide-semiconductor-field-effect transistor. Due to the fact that the two types have different […]
Anti Spy RF Detector Circuit – Wireless Bug Detector
A anti-spy or bug detector circuit is a device that detects hidden wireless electronic devices such as wireless microphones, spy cameras, Wi-Fi devices, GPS trackers or any gadget that emits some kind of radio frequency (RF). The proposed design can be specifically used as: Overview Also called anti spy RF sniffer, these are usually used […]
Darlington Transistor Calculations
Darlington transistor is a well known and popular connection using a pair of bipolar transistor junction transistor (BJT), designed for operating like an unified “superbeta” transistor. The following diagram shows the details of the connection. Definition A Darlington transistor can be defined as a connection between two BJTs that allows them to form a single […]
CMOS IC LMC555 Datasheet – Works with 1.5 V Supply
In this post we study the datasheet, pinout, and technical specifications of the IC LMC555 which is a CMOS version of the standard IC 555. The IC is equipped with many outstanding features, the most amazing being its minimum supply range which is down to 1.5V. Meaning now you have an IC 555 which can […]
Making a Self-Powered Generator
A self-powered generator is a perpetual electrical device designed to infinitely run and produce a continuous electrical output which is usually larger in magnitude than the input supply through which it’s running. Who wouldn’t like to see a self-powered motor generator running at home and powering the desired appliances non-stop, absolutely free of cost. We […]
