A hobbyist or an engineer can build an electronic circuit successfully only when the individual has adequate knowledge regarding all the involved electronics parts.
This category makes a sincerely effort to present an in-depth discussion regarding the various electronic components by comprehensively outlining their main specifications and the technical parameters.
Although we discuss many electronic components in this section, we give special attention to transistors and mosfet. These can be considered one of the crucial components of any useful electronic circuit, this device may be available with a huge range of specifications and technical points. Therefore it becomes essential to learn the all the details of the device in order to implement it in a preferred circuit application. For this the interested reader gets the option to shuffle through the following articles and find the required datasheet for reference.
Similarly there are other electronic parts such opto-couplers, capacitors, LED, batteries etc which also require a through reviewing before applying them in a given circuit design.
Most of these details are furnished below and will be updated from time to tme.
Although depletion type and enhancement type MOSFETs look similar with their internal structures and functional mode, their characteristics may be quite different. The main difference being the drain current which depends on a specific level of gate-to-source voltage for the cut off action. Precisely, for an n-channel enhancement-type MOSFET a positive gate/source voltage effects its … Read moreMOSFET (Enhancement-Type)

Inductors can be imagined as the opposite of capacitors. The main difference between a capacitor and an inductor is that a capacitor carries a protective dielectric between its plates, which inhibits the conduction of current across its terminals. Here it acts like an open circuit. On the other hand the inductance of an inductor is … Read moreCapacitor Inductor Calculations

Zener diodes that are normally available are mostly 1/4 watt or 1/2 watt types. And it is quite valid since the basic function of zener is to create stabilized reference voltage. Zener diodes are not designed for current regulation directly. However, for some applications where shunting excess voltage and current is necessary a high current … Read moreHigh Current Zener Diode Datasheet, Application Circuit
