Darlington transistor is a well known and popular connection using a pair of bipolar transistor junction transistor (BJT), designed for operating like an unified “superbeta” transistor. The following diagram shows the details of the connection. Definition A Darlington transistor can be defined as a connection between two BJTs that allows them to form a single […]

What is Transistor Saturation
In the previous post I explained BJT biasing, in this article I have explained what is transistor or BJT saturation and how to determine the value quickly through formulas and practical evaluations. What is Transistor Saturation The term saturation refers to any system where the specification levels have attained the maximum value. A transistor may be said […]
Transistor Stray pickup False Triggering Problem
In this article I have explained how to make any BJT or mosfet based circuit free from stray signal pickup and false triggering by simply attaching a filter resistor or a capacitor across their base/emitter or gate/source terminals. The problem was raised by Mr.Henrik. Solving a Circuit Problem I have an issue I don’t understand. […]
