Over the recent weeks here at Hackaday, we’ve been taking a look at the humble transistor. In a series whose impetus came from a friend musing upon his students arriving with highly developed ...
A very simple but highly efficient combination lock circuit is shown in the figure. Any type of on/off switches can be used, varying from commercially available inexpensive types to more sophisticated ...
Photocouplers optically links, via transparent isolating material, a light emitter and a photodetector. Used as an interface between circuits with different ground potentials, photocouplers replace ...
Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFETs exhibit higher blocking voltage, lower on state resistance and higher thermal conductivity than their silicon counterparts. SiC MOSFETs are designed and essentially ...
Discover how to build a simple wireless power transfer system at home using readily available components like enameled copper wire, an LED, a 2N2222A transistor, and a 9V battery. This step-by-step ...
Looking at some anecdotal stories as well as some reasonably valid survey data, it seems that STEM-related subjects are getting serious interest from students at all age levels; STEM stands for ...
The chipmaker plans to unveil more details behind its Tri-Gate transistor, an experimental circuit that could be important in the company's quest to keep up with Moore's Law. Michael Kanellos is ...
