In an NPN transistor, the connection between base and collector is a PN junction, so as you might expect it shares its properties with the PN junction in a diode. A silicon diode starts to conduct ...

Transistors are the fundamental building blocks behind today's electronic revolution, powering everything from smartphones to powerful servers by controlling the flow of electrical currents.

[Aaron] shows you how to bias a transistor and you’ll see it isn’t much different from an NPN except the base-emitter diode junction is reversed. As you might expect, current has to flow ...

Penn State and Philips researchers have merged the best features of their respective approaches to produce a new mathematical model that describes the behavior of the MOS transistor in a wide ...
