Introduction Transistors make our electronics world go ‘round. They’re critical as a control source in just about every modern circuit. Sometimes you see them, but more-often-than-not they’re hidden deep within the die of an integrated circuit . In this tutorial we’ll introduce you to the basics of the most common transistor around: the bi-polar junction transistor (BJT). In small, discrete quantities, transistors can be used to create simple electronic switches, digital logic , and signal amplifying circuits. In quantities of thousands, millions, and even billions, transistors are interconnected and embedded into tiny chips to create computer memories, microprocessors, and other complex ICs. Covered In This Tutorial After reading through this tutorial, we want you to have a broad understanding of how transistors work. We won’t dig too deeply into semiconductor physics or equivalent models, but we’ll get deep enough into the subject that you’ll understand h...
