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 […]
AMS1117 1A LDO Voltage Regulator IC – 3.3V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 5V Regulators
In this post I will be talking about one famous voltage regulator IC called AMS1117. It is a 1 Amp Low Dropout (LDO) Linear Voltage Regulator and we can get it in both fixed output types and also adjustable output version. It is super small, easy to use and available in SOT-223 package mostly, which […]
IC LM7912, -12V Negative Voltage Regulator Explained
In this post we are going to learn about one super old but gold IC called LM7912 or simply IC 7912. This one is not positive regulator like 7805 or 7812, but it is negative regulator which means it gives -12V output and not +12V. If you are making op-amp circuits or dual power supply […]
