Implementing P-channel MOSFETs in an H-bridge circuit may look easy and enticing, however it may require some stringent calculations and parameters for achieving an optimal response. P-channel MOSFETs are usually implemented for load ON/OFF switching. The ease-of-use of P-channel options on the high side allows them to be very convenient for applications like Low-Voltage Drives […]
Newly Updated Circuit Projects:
Transistor Common Collector
A BJT common collector amplifier is a circuit in which the collector and the base of the BJT share a common input supply, hence the name common collector. In our previous articles we have learned the other two transistor configurations, namely the common-base and the common-emitter. In this article I have explained the third and […]
Field-Effect Transistors (FET)
The field-effect transistor (FET) is an electronic device in which an electric field is used to regulate the flow of current. To implement this a potential difference is applied across the gate and source terminals of the device, which alters the conductivity between the drain and source terminals causing a controlled current to flow across […]
Learning Basics of Semiconductors
In this post I will comprehensively explain regarding the fundamental working principles of semiconductor devices, and how the internal structure of semiconductors function under the influence of electricity. The resistivity value between these semiconductor materials neither has a complete conductor characteristic nor a complete insulator, it is in between these two limits. This feature may […]
How to Troubleshoot Transistor (BJT) Circuits Correctly
Troubleshooting BJT circuits is basically a process of identifying the electrical faults in the network using multimeters across the various nodes in the circuit. BJT troubleshooting techniques is a huge topic and therefore including 100 % solutions and strategies can be perhaps difficult within a single article. Basically, the user should know about a handful […]
How to Connect Transistors (BJT) and MOSFET with Arduino
The interfacing of power devices like BJTs, and MOSFETs with Arduino output is a crucial configuration which allows switching high power loads through low power outputs of an Arduino. In this article we elaborately discuss the correct methods of using or connecting transistors like BJTs and mosfets with any microcontroller or an Arduino. Such stages […]
