Connecting transistors in parallel is a process in which the identical pinouts of two or more transistors are connected together in a circuit in order to multiply the power handling capacity of the combined parallel transistor set. In this post I have explained how to safely connect multiple transistors in parallel, these can be BJTs […]

How to Use Transistors
If you have understood correctly, how to use transistors in circuits, you might have already conquered half of electronics and its principles. In this post we make an effort in this direction. Introduction Transistors are 3 terminal semiconductor devices which is able to conduct relatively high power across their two terminals, in response to a […]
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 […]
DC Biasing in Transistors – BJTs
In simple terms, biasing in BJTs may be defined as a process in which a BJT is activated or switched ON by applying a smaller magnitude of DC is across its base/emitter terminals so that its is able to conduct a relatively larger magnitude of DC across its collector emitter terminals. The working of a […]
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 […]
How to Make Logic Gates using Transistors
In this post I have explained how to build NOT, AND, NAND, OR, and NOR logic gates using discrete transistors. The main advantage of using transistor logic gates is that they can work even with voltages as low as 1.5 V. In some electronic applications the available voltage may be inadequate to power TTL or […]
