What is a transistor?

What is a transistor?

It is composed of semiconductor material, usually with at least three terminals for connection to an electronic circuit. A voltage or current applied to one pair of the transistor’s terminals controls the current through another pair of terminals.

How do you remember the type of transistor?

Convenient mnemonic to remember the type of transistor (represented by a electrical symbol) involves the direction of the arrow. For the BJT, on an n-p-n transistor symbol, the arrow will ” N ot P oint i N”.

How to develop high-temperature transistors?

The high-temperature transistors that operate thermally stable up to 250 °C (482 °F) can be developed by a general strategy of blending interpenetrating semi-crystalline conjugated polymers and high glass-transition temperature insulating polymers.

What is the maximum temperature of a transistor?

Extreme temperature transistors include high-temperature transistors (above 150 °C (302 °F)) and low-temperature transistors (below −55 °C (−67 °F)).

What is the symbol for a BJT transistor?

For the BJT, on an n-p-n transistor symbol, the arrow will ” N ot P oint i N”. On a p-n-p transistor symbol, the arrow ” P oints i N P roudly”.
