In this post I have explained how to make a simple yet efficient transistor/diode tester circuit, that will not only test the quality of a BJT, but will also help to identify whether it is is an NPN or a PNP. The circuit was designed and contributed by Mr. Henry Bowman. Circuit Operation Referring to […]

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. […]
Transistor Zener Diode Circuit for Handling High Current Stabilization
The high power “zener diode” circuit using transistor shunt regulator presented here can be used for obtaining a highly accurate, temperature and voltage stabilized outputs from high current sources, safely. Normal Zener Limitation The low power zener diodes that we normally use in electronic circuits are specified to work with low currents, and therefore cannot […]
How to Use Resistors with LED, Zener and Transistor
In this post I have explained how to use resistors while designing an electronic circuits using LEDs, zener diodes, or transistors. This article can be very useful for the new hobbyists who normally get confused with the resistor values to be used for a specific component and for the desired application. What is a Resistor […]
Transistor based 3 Phase Sine Wave Generator Circuit
In this post I have explained a very simple 3-phase sine wave generator circuit, using only three bipolar transistors and a few passive components for initiating the desired three phase output. How it Works Referring to the 3 phase sine wave generator circuit we can see three identical transistor stages configured in a cross coupled […]
