Unijunction Transistor – Construction, Working Principle, and Characteristic Features
A Unijunction Transistor (UJT) is a three-terminal semiconductor device. The main characteristics of UJT is when it is triggered, the emitter current increases re-generatively until it is limited by emitter power supply. Due to this characteristic feature, it is used in applications like switching pulse generator, saw-tooth wave generator etc.Construction of UJTThe UJT consists of an n-type silicon semiconductor bar with an electrical on each end. The terminals of these connections are called Base terminals (B1 and B2). Near to base B2, a pn-junction is formed between a p-type emitter and the n-type silicon bar. The terminal of this junction ...
Read MoreCurrent Divider Rule and Voltage Divider Rule
Electric circuits are classified into two main types namely series circuit and parallel circuit based on the arrangement of components in the circuit. A series circuit is one in which the components are chain connected, while a parallel circuit is one in which all the circuit components are connected between two common points. Series circuits and parallel circuits act as voltage divider circuits and current divider circuits, respectively. Read through this article to find out more about Current Division Rule and Voltage Division Rule. Current Division Rule A parallel circuit acts as a current divider as it divides the total ...
Read MoreDifference between Half Wave and Full Wave Rectifier
A rectifier is an electronic circuit that converts the alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC). The process of conversion of alternating current into direct current is known as rectification. The rectifier consists of semiconductor diodes to perform the rectification.Depending upon the type of conversion of AC into DC, i.e., half cycle of AC into DC or full cycle of AC into DC, the rectifiers are classified into two categories viz. −Half Wave RectifierFull Wave RectifierIn this article, we will discuss about the differences between half-wave rectifier and full-wave rectifier. Also, we will briefly discuss about the half-wave rectifier and ...
Read MoreOne’s Complement
Binary Number System is one the type of most popular Number Representation techniques that used in digital systems. In the Binary System, there are only two symbols or possible digit values, i.e., 0 (off) and 1 (on). Represented by any device that only 2 operating states or possible conditions.Generally, there are two types of complement of Binary number: 1’s complement and 2’s complement. To get 1’s complement of a binary number, simply invert the given number. For example, 1’s complement of binary number 110010 is 001101. To get 2’s complement of binary number is 1’s complement of given number plus ...
Read MoreHow to Convert Decimal to Hexadecimal?
Decimal system is most familiar number system to the general public. It is base 10 which has only 10 symbols − 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. Whereas Hexadecimal system is most familiar number system color representation in Computers or digital systems. It is base 16 which has only 16 symbols: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and A, B, C, D, E, F. These A, B, C, D, E, F use as single digit in place of double digits, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 respectively.Conversion from Decimal to Hexadecimal ...
Read MoreFixed Point and Floating Point Number Representations
Digital Computers use Binary number system to represent all types of information inside the computers. Alphanumeric characters are represented using binary bits (i.e., 0 and 1). Digital representations are easier to design, storage is easy, accuracy and precision are greater.There are various types of number representation techniques for digital number representation, for example: Binary number system, octal number system, decimal number system, and hexadecimal number system etc. But Binary number system is most relevant and popular for representing numbers in digital computer system.Storing Real NumberThese are structures as following below −There are two major approaches to store real numbers (i.e., ...
Read MoreDifference between Active and Passive Components (in Electronics)
In electrical and electronics engineering, the closed path followed by the electric current is known as electric circuit. Every electric circuit is composed of many circuit components such as sources of power, resistors, capacitors, inductors, diode, etc. Therefore, the circuit components are the basic building blocks of an electrical or electronic circuit.Depending upon the power delivering or absorbing ability, the circuit components can be classified in following two types −Active componentsPassive componentsThe most significant difference between active components and passive components is that an active component can supply power to an electric circuit, whereas a passive component cannot deliver power, ...
Read MoreDifference between Conductor, Semiconductor, and Insulator
In order to differentiate the Conductor, Semiconductor, and Insulator, first we have to understand their extent of forbidden band i.e. separation between their conduction and valance band. The main difference between the conductor, semiconductor and insulator is in their conductivity.ConductorA conductor is a type of material that allows the electric current to flow through it i.e. it possesses least resistance in the path of free electrons. In case of conductor, the valance and conduction bands overlap. Due to this overlapping, a small potential difference across a conductor causes the free electrons to constitute electric current.All the metals are conductors. The ...

Read MoreImplementation of SOP Function using Multiplexer
An Overview Implementing logical functions is a basic part of designing digital logic. The sum-of-products (SOP) form, which defines a logical function as the sum of various product terms, is one common representation. Data selectors, commonly referred to as multiplexers, are adaptable combinational circuits that can be used to effectively implement SOP functions. In this article, we'll examine how to create SOP functions using multiplexers and go over the specific steps involved. SOP Function A Boolean expression known as a sum-of-products (SOP) function represents a logical function as the addition (OR) of many product terms. The literals in each product ...
