The first transistor was about half an inch high. That's mammoth by today's standards, when 7 million transistors can fit on a single computer chip. It was nevertheless an amazing piece of technology.

The NPN transistor is considered, but results obtained are germane to analysis of the PNP transistor as well. Most of this discussion will focus on operation of the bipolar transistor in the ...

If you look at a higher-current LiIon battery BMS, you will inevitably find two FETs wired up like that, or even two rows of FETs put in parallel! Just like with NPN and PNP transistors ...

Transistors are three terminal devices that can be formed with the combination of two separate PN junction materials into one block as shown in Figure 3.1. Figure 3.1: NPN and PNP transistor ...
