Schottky diode is fabricated as a metal-to-N junction rather than a P-N semiconductor junction. Also referred to as hot-carrier diodes,…
The Impact Avalanche Transit Time (IMPATT) diode is a high power radio frequency (RF) generator that operates from 3 to…
The Shockey diode is a four layer sandwich of PNPN semiconductor material very similar to the SCR but without a…
Features of a Diac The diac is a two-terminal, semiconductor, bi-directional switching device. It can conduct in both directions. The…
The unijunction transistor (UJT) is a three terminal, single-junction device which exhibits negative resistance and switching characteristics totally unlike those…
The varactor also termed to as varicap, is a diode that behaves like a variable capacitor, with the PN junction…
The primary LC oscillator circuit does not have the option of controlling the amplitude of the oscillations. A weak electromagnetic…
The CPU clock dictates how fast the processor can process the data, and a microprocessor having a clock speed of…
The crystal oscillators are implemented using the piezo-electric effect. This is actually realized when a voltage source is applied to…
