Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS): With active load switching, the current drain with a low output is approximately equal to ID(sat). This may cause a problem with battery operated equipment.…
Applications of FETs (Field Effect Transistors): Applications of FETs - FET has a very high input impedance (100 MΩ in case of JFETs and 104 to 109 MΩ in case of…
FET Biasing Methods - Fixed Bias, Self Bias, Potential Divider Bias and Current Source Bias: Unlike BJTs, thermal runaway does not occur with FETs. However, the wide differences in maximum…
Crystal Oscillators - Circuit, Working, Advantages and Disadvantages: In crystal oscillators, the usual electrical resonant circuit is replaced by a mechanically vibrating crystal. The crystal (usually quartz) has a high…
Three Terminal IC Voltage Regulators - Block Diagram: The latest generation of IC voltage regulators has devices with only three pins: one for the unregulated input voltage, one for the…
Regulated and Unregulated Power Supply: Almost all electronic devices used in electronic circuits need a dc source of power to operate. The source of dc power is used to establish…
Integrated Injection Logic (IIL or I2L) Circuit: It is the latest entry into the bipolar saturated logic field. It uses no biasing and loading resistors at all. Resistors require lot…
What is Emitter Coupled Logic (ECL) Circuit? Emitter coupled logic (ECL) is the fastest of all logic families and, therefore, is employed in applications where very high speed is essential.…
