Thermocouples and their leads often have to detect open-circuit or short-circuit faults. However, it is very difficult to distinguish a valid millivolt temperature signal from an open/short-circuited ...
This project demonstrates how to build a simple latching power switch circuit using an NPN transistor and a pushbutton, powered by a 9V battery. When the pushbutton is pressed, the transistor ...
A very simple but highly efficient combination lock circuit is shown in the figure. Any type of on/off switches can be used, varying from commercially available inexpensive types to more sophisticated ...
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 ...
Abstract: A SIMPLE TRANSISTOR SWITCHING CIRCUIT is shown in figure 1(1). The switch is OFF when Vb is negative, [i.e. of opposite polarity to that shown in Figure 1(1)], and ON when Vb is positive and ...
On a physical level, a transistor’s internal functioning is very complex, but, in practice, using it in some simple experiments is quite easy and affordable for everyone. A transistor allows to create ...
A load switch is an electronic switch. It works like a relay to power supply rails in systems, but it has no moving parts. Load switches are increasingly found in today’s portable electronic devices, ...
