The unijunction transistor(UJT) is a three terminal device with characteristics very different from the conventional 2 junction, bipolar transistor. It
Early semiconductor developments used germanium as the commercial, semiconductor material. Due to its ease of processing and more stable temperature
Multiple diode packaging or diode arrays have been an important semiconductor product. They save assembly time and improve reliability over
The diac is a bidirectional trigger diode which is designed specifically to trigger a triac or SCR. Basically the diac
Refer to the characteristic curve of a typical rectifier(diode) in the figure below. The forward characteristic of the curve we
The varactor diode symbol is shown below with a diagram representation: When a reverse voltage is applied to a PN
The triac is a three terminal semiconductor for controlling current in either direction. Below is the schematic symbol for the
Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS) are semiconductor devices designed to provide protection against voltage and current transients. The silicon TVS is
The Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) is simply a conventional rectifier controlled by a gate signal. The main circuit is a
