Make a Simplest Temperature Indicator Circuit
A very simple temperature indicator circuit can be built by interconnecting a single transistor, a diode and a few other passive components. Using Transistor as a Heat Sensor As we know that all semiconductors have this “bad habit” of changing its basic characteristics in response to ambient temperature changes. Especially basic electronic components like transistors […]
