since the explanation can be too vast to be confined in a single article. In simple words a NPN transistor will function with respect to the ground and accept a positive voltage as a trigger, whereas a PNP type will work with respect to positive ...

The emitter, base and collector have the same functions in a PNP circuit. The only difference in the PNP transistor is that the n-type base is layered between the p-type emitter and collector. The NPN versus PNP configurations determine the direction of the emitter's arrow, which is always...
The transistor is nothing but a power electronics switch that can work like normal switches. Now the question is how can we use PNP transistor as a switch? As we have seen in the working of the PNP transistor, if the Base voltage is not more negative then Emitter voltage, the current ca...
an NPN transistor connected in such a way behaves as an amplifier but it doesn't always amplify there are certain conditions for that right so in this example we'll explore this in great detail we'll understand under what conditions our transistor acts as an amplifier and under what condition...
Except for the difference in power supply polarity, the two work principles are the same. The following only introduces the current amplification principle of NPN silicon tubes. NPN transistor and PNP transistor An NPN transistor is composed of two N-type semiconductors and a P-type semiconductor ...
You noticed that the GND'd connection is through an NPN transistor. If I turn on ALL (8) the segments for a digit at 20mA each, then the GND'd connection need is 8*20mA = 160mA!!! It is unadvisable to ask ANY PSoC GPIO pin to sink more than 10mA let alone 160mA. You could...
The instructions are given primarily for an NPN transistor as these are the most common types in use. The variations are shown for PNP varieties - these are indicated in brackets (.. .. ..):Set the meter to its ohms range - any range should do, but the middle ohms range if several ...
An ordinary NPN transistor will turn ON when the base voltage is about 0.65v more than the emitter but a MOSFET needs the gate terminal to be at least 2v to 5v, (depending on the type of MOSFET) above the source voltage. This is called theGATE VOLTAGEand the exact value is difficulty...
NPN transistor on the left, PNP on the right. A positive Base voltage on an NPN transistor will allow current to flow through the resistor. A negative Base voltage on a PNP transistor will allow current to flow.Here's two transistor circuits that look and function very much like tube amp...
