Just as the common emitter amplifier and common base amplifier each tied those respective transistor terminals to a fixed potential and used the other two terminals as amplifier input and output, so ...
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.
Why would a wall-wart design have an external FET driving an external high-voltage transistor? A decade ago, Paul Rako picked the brains of some of the top people in the industry to find answers. When ...
