For example, you can insert a resistor, a capacitor, an inductor, a diode, or a transistor and get a readout of which pin is which.

This is precisely the frontier being explored through quantum thermal transistors, devices designed to replicate electronic transistor functionality at the quantum scale, but for heat.

Most modern electronic devices consist of several key components: transistors, capacitors, resistors, inductors and diodes. Often, they are supplemented by additional components like crystals and ...

Multiple muting transistors may be driven by the same PNP transistor because all base inputs tend to act as diodes when OFF and all ‘anodes’ may be effectively tied together thus preventing reverse ...

In essence, the four-layer diode was the first integrated circuit since it did the work of two transistors, two resistors, and a diode -- all in a single crystal.

Calculating the appropriate resistor values for a photocoupler isn’t complicated, but some basic min/max considerations must be acknowledged in when doing the analysis.

This fire sensor circuit exploits the temperature sensing property of an ordinary signal diode IN 34 to detect heat from fire. At the moment it senses heat, a loud alarm simulating that of Fire ...

The tunnel diodes we mentioned above are probably the best known devices that exhibit negative resistance, and there was a time in the early 1960s before transistors gained extra performance that ...

Here’s a blast from the past as we reprint our news from NYC’s 1961 IRE show—the first integrated logic circuits in TO-5 and TO-18 cans are being announced.
