Differential Amplifier using Transistors

As the name indicates Differential Amplifier is a dc-coupled amplifier that amplifies the difference between two input signals. It is the building block of analog integrated circuits and operational amplifiers (op-amp). One of the important feature of differential amplifier is that it tends to reject or nullify the part of input signals which is common to both inputs. This provides very good noise immunity in a lot of applications. Let's see the block diagram of a differential amplifier. Differential Amplifier Vi1 and Vi2 are input...

Monostable Multivibrator using Transistors

Multivibrator is a non linear oscillator or function generator which can generate square, rectangular and pulse waves. Monostable Multivibrator or One-Shot Multivibrator has only one stable state. By default monostable multivibrator will be in its stable state, but when triggered it will switch to unstable state (quasi-stable state) for a time period determined by the RC time constant in the circuit. Monostable Multivibrator using Transistors - Circuit Diagram Monostable Multivibrator using Transistors - Circuit Diagram In the above circuit diagram we can find two transistors which are...

Astable Multivibrator using Transistors

An Astable Multivibrator or a Free Running Multivibrator is the multivibrator which has no stable states. Its output oscillates continuously between its two unstable states without the aid of external triggering. The time period of each states are determined by Resistor Capacitor ( RC ) time constant. Astable Multivibrator using Transistors - Circuit Astable Multivibrator Using Transistors In the above diagram we can find two transistors which is wired as a switch. Please do read the article Transistor as A Switch. When a...

The First Chemical Circuit Developed

Ion Transistors for the transport of both positive and negative ions, as well as biomolecules had been previously developed by a group of Organic Electronics research team at Linköping University. Now Tybrandt has now succeed in developing circuits using these Transistors similar to traditional silicon electronics. In essence of this technology we can build computer chips that can directly interface with our body cells. The major advantage of chemical circuit is that the charge carrier consists of chemical substances with various functions and this gives us new opportunities to...
