The MOSFET in Figure 1 is used as both a heater and a temperature sensor in a thermostatic circuit. Figure 1 Circuit diagram for using a MOSFET as a thermostatic heater. The circuit can be used as a ...

In this lesson, students build two circuits and explore how transistors function. When Bell Labs introduced the transistor in June of 1948, a spokesman proudly announced "This cylindrical object . . .

A number of circuits, such as level detectors and AM demodulators, benefit from a rectifier with a low offset voltage. Silicon diodes have an offset of approximately 0.6V and do not work well in ...
