We can use this small LM567 calculator tool for finding the right frequency, Rt, and Ct values for our tone decoder circuit. Now we know that this IC works on one simple relation which is, f = 1 / (1.1 × Rt × Ct) So we can see that this frequency depends only on the […]

FET Current Source: Explained with Formulas
An FET Current Source is one special type of active circuit that is using a Field Effect Transistor for giving a steady and constant current into a circuit. We are doing this because sometimes we want that current should not change, it should remain fixed and stable. Why We Need Constant Current Now you may […]
How to Connect Resistors in Series and Parallel
There are three ways to interconnect resistors: series, parallel and in combination of series/parallel. When resistors are joined in series, the current passing via one resistor also passes through the next. When resistors are joined in parallel, they are wired across each other, resulting in the same voltage across each resistor. When resistors are connected […]
Solving Darlington Transistor Formulas and Calculations
Now in this post you will learn about this amazing BJT device which is called Darlington Transistor. It got this name after genius engineer Sidney Darlington who first gave this idea, so we remember him. What Is Inside Darlington Transistor Basically this device is like special combo of two normal NPN or PNP bipolar junction […]
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 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 […]
