Designers of VCO modules can reduce the size and increase the performance of these modules with a new device that combines in a single tiny package the company's NE894 transistor for oscillator ...

[Eric Wasatonic] had a box of SWB2433 transistors that he had very little information about. In order to discover their properties, he fired up his curve tracer to compare these transistors with more ...

One transistor, just a pair of inductors and capacitors. Such a simple electronic circuit can become an oscillator with a surprising richness of behavior. However, even more interesting effects become ...

Immediately, I learned that the common base configuration gain was 6db lower than the common emitter. This blew my mind. Then I started checking input resistance and was shocked at how low it measured ...

Fig 1. This Pierce-series resonant oscillator can reliably start at supply voltages as low as 2.4 V. It also draws very low current, ensuring long battery life. Fig 2. An oscilloscope photo shows the ...

(Nanowerk News) IBM today announced that its researchers have built the first complete electronic integrated circuit around a single carbon nanotube molecule, a new material that shows promise for ...
