If we look at the diodes, their internal construction look very simple. They are made by joining two pieces of semiconductor material, and this is called a pn-junction. But when we talk about bipolar junction transistor or bjt, then things get little more complicated. It needs adding one more layer of semiconductor material, and that […]

Understanding Solar Panels
Solar panels are devices which are used for generating electricity from sun light. Solar panels consist of many individual photo voltaic cells arranged in series. Introduction Each cell is able to generate a small amount of voltage in response to the incident sun rays over its surface. Arrays of these individual cells are connected in […]
Understanding Common Base Configuration in BJTs
In this section we are going to analyze BJT common-base configuration, and learn regarding its driving point characteristics, reverse saturation current, base to emitter voltage and evaluate the parameters through a practical solved example. In the later parts we will also analyze how to configure a common-base amplifier circuit Introduction The symbols and annotations utilized […]
Understanding Color Codes of Resistors with Practical Examples
In this post I will comprehensively explain regarding the various standard resistor color codes, and systems employed for assigning resistors their specific values. The post also explains how to read and identify resistor values from their color codes. By: S. Prakash The color codes used in resistors denote a leaded resistor’s value. These color codes […]
Understanding CMOS IC 4035 Datasheet – 4-Bit Parallel In Parallel Out Shift Register
So now we are talking about this digital IC called 4035 which is made using CMOS technology, that means it will use very low current and will give us high noise immunity. Inside this IC we have got 4 flip-flops which are arranged in such a way that they can hold and shift 4-bit data. […]
