A couple of books by Cletus Kaiser, The Diode Handbook and The Transistor Handbook, take you back to basics on these fundamental building-block components. The book on diodes contains sections on ...

Electronic devices use components like resistors, capacitors, transistors, diodes, & ICs. Circuit diagrams use symbols to represent these, enabling engineers worldwide to communicate & understand ...

A 200 pack Ge diodes (real) of russian D9, or a 20 pack of D2 go for 20-30€ respectively and these series have sub-types such as D9G, D9B, etc.

Innovations such as quantum thermal diodes, capable of directing heat flow in a specific direction, and quantum thermal transistors, which amplify heat flows similarly to how electronic ...

When the integrated circuit was invented in 1958, it eclipsed the four-layer diode's capabilities and any market for the diode quickly dried up. Four-layered semiconductors are, however, used today.

The transistor turnson, and the logic-zero voltage at thecollector is approximately 0.6+V L +V CE,where V L is the low voltage and V CE is the collector-to-emitter voltage.When inputs A and B are at ...
