In the early days, PNP bipolar transistors were common, but the bulk of circuits you see today use NPN transistors. As [Aaron Danner] points out, many people think PNP transistors are “backward” but ...
The transistor is probably the most important invention in electronic engineering and the basis for nearly all integrated circuits (ICs). The transistor is a three-terminal electronic device that can ...
The basic construction of Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) comprises of two P-N junctions producing three connecting terminals with each terminal being given a name to identify it from the other two.
A new family of automotive-rated NPN and PNP bipolar transistors bring low losses and high reliability to switching, regulation/conversion, and driving applications. Typical applications include ...
