MOSFET – Types and Working Principle
A Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET) has four terminals − Source (S), Gate (G), Drain (D), Body (B). It is a semiconductor device which is used for switching and amplification applications in electronic circuits. In general, the body terminal is connected with the source thus forming a three terminal device just like an FET.The MOSFET is a voltage controlled device. Since its operation depends upon the flow of majority carriers only, hence MOSFET is a unipolar device.In other words, An FET that can be operated in the enhancement mode is known as MOSFET.Why the Name MOSFET? The gate ...
Read MoreHow to Test a Transistor Using a Digital Multimeter
Basically a transistor is nothing but two pn-junctions connected back to back. By examining both the junctions (Emitter-Base junction and Collector-Base junction) with the help of a digital multimeter, we can comment on the functionality of the transistor.The test of the transistor is based on the principle of pn-junction biasing, i.e., when a forward bias is applied to the pn-junction (by connecting positive terminal to the p-region and negative terminal to the n-region), the junction allows current to through it. When the reverse bias applied to the junction, it behaves as an open circuit.NPN Transistors are widely used. We can ...
Read MoreEnhancement Mode MOSFET
The Enhancement Mode Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (EMOSFET) is a three-terminal Device viz. Source (S), Gate (G) and Drain (D). The EMOSFET is a voltage controlled device.The EMOSFET can be operated in the enhancement mode only. The EMOSFET has no physical channel from source to drain since the substrate extends completely to the SiO2 layer.By the application of gate–source voltage (VGS) of proper magnitude and polarity the device can be made operating. The use of VGS induces an n-channel just below the gate terminal and this made the device operating.The minimum value of VGS of proper polarity that ...

Digital electronics is branch of electronics which deals with digital signals to accomplish the tasks. The digital signals are the signals which are represented using the binary language, i.e., 0’s and 1’s.The digital circuits are implemented using logic gates like AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOR, XOR and XNOR which can perform logical operations.Digital Circuit DefinitionA circuit implemented using a number of logic gate and takes the input in the binary form (0’s and 1’s) is called as Digital Circuit.Types of Digital CircuitsCombinational Digital CircuitsSequential Digital CircuitsDigital Logic GatesA logic gate is an electronic component that is implemented using a Boolean ...
Read MoreDiac Operations and Applications
A diac is a two-terminal, three-layer, bidirectional device which can be switched from OFF state to ON state for both positive and negative polarity of the supply voltage.Constructional Details of the DiacThe basic structure of a Diac is similar to a BJT transistor. The only difference is that there is no base terminal in case of Diac.The terminals of the diac are taken from the two p-regions of silicon that are separated by an n-region. The concentrations are identical in all layers to give the device symmetrical properties.V – Characteristics of DiacFrom I-V Characteristics of a Diac, for the applied ...
Read MoreDC Power Supply Filter Types
In practice, a rectifier is used to produce pure DC supply in electronic circuits. But the output of a rectifier is not pure DC, it has pulsations, i.e., it contains AC and DC components. The AC component is undesirable and must be removed. For this, a filter circuit is used."A Filter Circuit is a circuit which removes the ac component from the output of rectifier and produces the pure dc output across the load."The filter circuit should be placed between the rectifier and the load.A filter circuit is basically a combination capacitors (C) and inductors (L). A capacitor allows the ...

In this post, we will understand the difference between DLP and LCD projector −DLP Projector (Digital Light Processing)It is a type of projector that uses a digital micro mirror device.One of the chip has a reflective surface that contains thousands of tiny mirrors that are coordinated with a light source.This helps reflect the digital imagery on to any surface.It provides smooth video.The pixels are less visible.It is more film-like, as on HDTV.It shows the rainbow effect.The intensity of black is amazing.It is portable since it is small and light in weight.The light source could be a standard lamp or an ...
Read More1's Complement vs 2's Complement
Complements are used in digital computers in order to simply the subtraction operation and for the logical manipulations. For the Binary number (base-2) system, there are two types of complements: 1’s complement and 2’s complement.1’s Complement of a Binary NumberThere is a simple algorithm to convert a binary number into 1’s complement. To get 1’s complement of a binary number, simply invert the given number.2’s Complement of a Binary NumberThere is a simple algorithm to convert a binary number into 2’s complement. To get 2’s complement of a binary number, simply invert the given number and add 1 to the ...

Read MoreLight Emitting Diodes (LEDs)\\n
Light can be obtained from various sources like candles, lamp and sunrays etc. Light bulb had invented by Thomas Edison in 1879. An electric current is passed through a filament inside bulb, it gets heated up and emits light when sufficient current is passed through the filament. That means it converts electrical energy into heat energy in the bulb. Where in Light Emitting Diodes (LED), electronic electrical energy can directly converted into light energy.Light is a energy which is released by atoms. Particles of light are photons which have no mass. Atoms are basic building blocks which are made of small ...
