Now in this article we will try to understand step by step how we can use this thyristor in practical work. That can be for controlling heavy loads like electric lamps, heaters, or motors and so on. So this part is more about real application and not only about theory. How We Trigger The Thyristor […]

Understanding Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs)
If we look at the diodes, their internal construction look very simple. They are made by joining two pieces of semiconductor material, and this is called a pn-junction. But when we talk about bipolar junction transistor or bjt, then things get little more complicated. It needs adding one more layer of semiconductor material, and that […]
How MOSFET Works like a Switch
Now in our earlier talks we saw that the N-channel Enhancement-mode MOSFET or e-MOSFET works nicely when we supply it with positive input voltage, so this is very important to remember. This type of MOSFET has very high input resistance, almost close to infinity, and because of that we can use it easily like a […]
How to make a Transistor Latch Circuit
In this post I have explained how to make a simple transistor latch circuit using just two BJTs and a few resistors. Introduction A transistor latch is a circuit which latches ON with a permanent high output in response to a momentary input high signal, and continues to stay in this position as long as […]
How to Configure Resistors, Capacitors and Transistors in Electronic Circuits
In this post we try to evaluate how to configure or connect electronic components such as resistors, capacitors withing electronic circuits through correct calculation Kindly read my previous post regarding what is voltage and current, in order to grasp the below explained basic electronic facts more effectively. What is a Resistor – It is an […]
Introduction to Schmitt Trigger
Almost any digital circuit used in modern high-speed data communications needs some form of Schmitt trigger action on its inputs. Why Schmitt Trigger is Used The main purpose of a Schmitt trigger here is to eliminate noise and interference on data lines and provide a nice clean digital output with fast edge transitions. The rise […]
