Transistors, the tiny switches that flip on and off inside computer chips, have long been the domain of electricity. But scientists are beginning to develop chip components that run on light. Last ...

The circuit remains on until the finger touch the off contact . This electronic touch switch designed with transistors require a 6 volts power supply circuit . The electronic touch switch circuit ...

You know them, you love them, you take them for granted – they are single push button on/off switches. As [Dino] explains in the most recent episode of his Hack a Week series, they are typica… ...

NPN transistors are key components in electronics, used as switches or amplifiers with three legs: base, collector, and emitter. Thyristors are semiconductor switches with three legs: gate, anode ...

The transistor laser invented by scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has now been found to possess fundamental non-linear characteristics that are new to a transistor and ...

Analog switches can do the job if applied correctly, but lack the audio range required in professional line and level applications, may be subject to crosstalk between sections and are also very ...

This quantum electronics component switches electrical current by controlled repositioning of a single atom, now also in the solid state in a gel electrolyte.

TL431 Despite its misleading electrical symbol, think of the TL431 as being a voltage-activated switching transistor.

Transistors are the basic components of electronic circuits and are used in a variety of applications, including electronic switches and current amplifiers.
