We’ve previously remarked upon a generation lucky enough to be well-versed in microcontrollers and computersised electronics through being brought up on the Arduino or the Raspberry Pi but unlucky ...

Graphene has already brought us the world's smallest transistor – twice – and now the one atom thick form of carbon that recently won its discoverers the Nobel Prize has been used to create a ...

Researchers from the University of California – Riverside and Rice University have made the first single-transistor amplifier from graphene. The device is better than conventional amplifiers thanks to ...

Solid-state device technologies, which are available to the amplifier designer, fall, broadly, into three categories: bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) and junction diodes; junction field effect ...

Two of the most often used amplifier building blocks in audio amplifier design are the common emitter amplifier with emitter degeneration and the emitter follower using the same circuit biasing. The ...

Back in the '60s, there was an intriguing circuit article titled "Starved-Circuit Amplifier" published in Popular Electronics magazine. It used a sharp cut-off pentode with a 3-MO load resistor and ...

If you open up the perennial favourite electronics textbook The Art Of Electronics and turn to the section on transistors, you will see a little cartoon. A transistor is shown as a room in which ...
