Semiconductor Tester Circuit [LED, Transistor, SCR Tester]
The semiconductor tester circuit I have explained below performs continuity tests on SCRs, bipolar transistors, and diodes. How the Circuit Works A squarewave oscillator with a frequency of about 350 Hz is produced by a couple of IC 4049 gates, U1a along with U1b, R1, R2, and C1. The complementary outputs required for testing both NPN and […]
Transistor Monostable Circuits with Applications
In this post I have explained how to build a few simple monostable circuits using only transistors, and also learn how to make practical application circuits with them. If you search for transistor monostable circuit online, you will find that one typical circuit has been discussed in all the online articles. This circuit looks a […]
Transistor Multivibrator Circuits [Astable, Bistable, Monostable]
A transistor or BJT multivibrator is a two-stage switching circuit that is configured in a cross-coupled manner. This allows each of the active BJT stages to be regeneratively cross-coupled with the other BJT stage, so that one switches ON when the other switches OFF, and vice versa. This cross-coupling may be set up to switch either a […]
