Comparing MOSFETs with BJTransistors – Pros and Cons
The post comprehensively discusses the the similarities and difference between mosfets and BJTs and also their particular pros and cons. Introduction When we talk of electronics, one name becomes extremely related or rather common with this subject and that is the transistors, more precisely the BJT. Electronics is in fact based on these outstanding and indispensable member, without which […]
How to Replace a Transistor (BJT) with a MOSFET
In this post I have explained the method of correctly replacing a BJT with a MOSFET, without affecting the final outcome of the circuit. Introduction Until MOSFETs arrived in the field of electronics, transistors or BJTs to be precise ruled the power switching circuits and applications. Though even Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs) can not be […]
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 […]
Basics of Strain Gauge Measurements
The strain gauge is one of the most useful tools for precisely measuring expansion or contraction of a material as forces are applied. Strain gauges are also useful for measuring applied forces indirectly if they are aligned approximately linearly with the deformation of the material. What are Strain Gauges Strain gauges are sensors whose electrical […]
