The two types of standard transistors are PNP and NPN which differs in circuit symbols. The layers of semiconductor material used to make the transistor are denoted by the letters. To keep a straight ...

Transistors are tiny components that act like switches and amplifiers, driving the logic behind every digital device. In this ...

[Dr. Cockroach]’s goal was to build a four-bit computer out of recycled and repurposed junk. The resulting computer, called IO, consists of a single 555, around 230 PNP and NPN transistors, 230 diodes ...

Assuming position as the smallest digital transistors on the market, the FJY families are rated at 200 mW and manage to squeeze a resistor bias network into their 1.7 mm x 0.98 mm x 0.78 mm SOT523F ...

Researchers are making progress in creating digital transistors using a material called graphene, potentially sidestepping an obstacle thought to dramatically limit the material's use in computers and ...

It’s no secret that electronic components are getting smaller and smaller all the time, but just how tiny they’re getting may surprise even close followers of the industry. To that end, a research ...

Atomic-scale imperfections in graphene transistors generate unique wireless fingerprints that cannot be copied or predicted, ...

A new spin on one of the 20th century's smallest but grandest inventions, the transistor, could help feed the world's ever-growing appetite for digital memory while slicing up to 5% of the energy from ...
