How PNP Transistors Work
In this post I have explained regarding how a PNP transistor works or conducts in response to a fixed biasing voltage and a varying supply voltage, across its base and emitter. The question was put forth by Mr. Aaron Keenan. Question Regarding PNP BJT Working Great information and lots of interesting circuits!I have a question […]
Sequential Timer Circuit using Transistors
In this post I have explained to make a simple sequential timer generator circuit which can be used for getting a sequential triggering of a connected load, or can be simply used like a sequential LED bar graph effect generator, using only transistors. The idea was requested by Mr Babusan. Technical Specifications Is it possible […]
Simple Thermostat Circuit Using Transistors
The electronic thermostat explained here can be used to control the room temperature by appropriately switching (turning on and off) a heating device. By: R.K. Singh Operational details of electronic thermostat The circuit employs a thermistor NTC (negative temperature coefficient) as the sensor device. – As long as the ambient temperature stays higher than the […]
Low Battery Indicator Circuit Using Two Transistors Only
In the following post I have explained a simple low battery indicator circuit by using just two inexpensive NPN transistors. The main feature of this circuit is its very low stand by current consumption. The Circuit Concept We have so far seen how to make a low battery indicator circuits using a 741 IC and […]
High Voltage Transistors BUX 86 and BUX 87 – Specifications
In this article we are going to make an effort to understand the technical specs of the BJTs BUX86 and BUX87 which are high voltage complementary paired transistors. Introduction The Bux 86 and BUX 87 are typically high voltage switching transistors with silicon epibase. They come in TO-126 package and are NPN types. These devices […]
