How many remote controls do you have in your home? Don’t you wish all these things were better integrated somehow, or that you could add remote control functionality to a random device? It’s a common ...
In the beginning, there was the point-contact transistor. This was the very first transistor ever made, built by Walter Brattain with the help of John Bardeen. It was made of two gold foil contacts ...
The sandwich transistor was William Shockley's brainchild. It's also called the junction transistor. While the rest of the lab was busy researching Bardeen and Brattain's point-contact transistor, ...

What is a P-N Junction? A p-n junction is a fundamental building block of modern electronics, formed by joining together two types of semiconductor materials: p-type (positive) and n-type (negative).
Shockley had continued his semiconductor work, and in 1948 patented the modern junction transistor. Three years later, Bell Labs demonstrated part number M1752 ...
Back to analog, let us start some Schmitt trigger experiments with jellybean bipolar junction transistors… This post explores the classic emitter-coupled Schmitt Trigger circuit. A Schmitt trigger is ...
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 ...
