A transistor tester can be a handy addition to your electronics workbench. This versatile transistor tester design, first presented a decade ago, enables you to quickly assess the functionality of NPN ...

Elektor has been publishing innovative design projects and engineering tutorials since 1961. Check out the following projects from past June editions of Elektor Mag. These projects and articles are ...

A Platino-based Transistor Tester to test transistors in a simple and portable way. Since it is tedious to read the markings on the transistor devices and to look up to its characteristics in ...

There are a number of complex tasks involved in the manufacturing of electronic assemblies, all of which can go wrong. In order to ensure quality standards are met, the fabrication of the printed ...

Abstract: This paper shows that latent defects manifesting as pinholes in the gate oxide of transistors, can effectively be detected by inserting extra test transistors in the circuit under test, ...

This simple circuit has helped me out on many occasions. It is able to check transistors, in the circuit, down to 40 ohms across the collector-base or base-emitter junctions. It can also check the ...

SAN FRANCISCO &#151 Researchers from the Israel Institute of Technology have developed what the university claims is a “transistor in a test tube”, built via sequence-specific molecular lithography.

Last time on Circuit VR, we looked at creating a very simple common emitter amplifier, but we didn’t talk about how to select the capacitor values, or much about why we wanted them. We are going to ...
