We’ve already covered the monostable and bistable operation of 555 timers in the previous tutorials. In this tutorial, we’ll be looking at the third configuration - the astable ...

In the previous article, we took an in-depth look at the internal working of the 555 timers in the monostable mode. If you've understood the previous tutorial, this one will be ...

In the previous article, we understood the internal working of the 555 timers. In this article, we'll be looking at the monostable mode of operation of the 555 timers. Before ...

The 555 timer oscillator or, as commonly referred to, 555 timer, is an extremely popular IC for timing-related applications. They are robust and versatile, as they can be used in ...

There are well over a dozen different MOSFET schematic symbols in circulation and, between the different symbols that represent the same thing and the many different types of ...

Wave-shaping circuits are circuits that usually clip off portions of signal voltages above or below certain levels, or add or restore a DC level to an electrical signal, or ...

If you have checked out our tutorial Different Regions of BJT Operation, we’ve discussed how a bipolar junction transistor (BJT) operates in cutoff, saturation, and active ...

In our previous tutorial about bipolar junction transistors (BJTs), we have discussed its basic structure and how its two types, npn and pnp, basically operate. This time, we are ...

We went over the architecture and operation of MOSFETs in a previous tutorial but I, personally, have always struggled with understanding the different operating regions of a ...

We decided to create a tutorial talking about PMOS versus NMOS and enhanced versus depletion mode MOSFETs because, frankly, these terms were very confusing to me when I was first ...

MOSFETs are Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors. MOSFETs act like switches by varying the voltage on one terminal, the gate, changing the resistance between the ...

A transistor is an electronic device that can be used as an amplifier or as an electronic switch. Its ability to amplify a signal or to switch high power loads using a small ...

The last time we discussed diodes, we learned about its basic structure and how forward biasing allows current through the pn junction. This time, we are going to discuss about ...

Have you ever asked yourself how this small electronic device, an LED, emits light? Compared to the much less efficient incandescent light bulb, which produces light by converting ...

In our previous tutorials, we’ve discussed the basics of semiconductors, band gap, current carriers, and its classification. We learned that in order for a semiconductor material ...
