Darlington is credited with the discovery and initial demonstration in the early 1950's of what ever since has been known as the Darlington transistor pair, or simply the Darlington transistor or ...

An NPN transistor placed in positions 1-2-3 is detected with correct pinning. But on positions 2-3-1 or 3-1-2, the emitter and collector are swapped. PNP transistors on the other hand are always ...

The three regions of the transistor are called the emitter, base and collector. Depending on the arrangement of the semiconductor materials, transistors can be classified as PNP or NPN. [Learn more ...

Open-circuit transistor. Let’s refer to a PNP transistor (the results immediately generalize to an NPN transistor). In open circuit conditions, we expect behavior similar to that of a single junction, ...

Since transistors come in both PNP and NPN versions, the supply voltage (B+ in tube terminology) can be either positive with respect to ground (for an NPN transistor) or negative with respect to ...

Sziklai Transistor Pair was first designed by George Sziklai to overcome some efficiency related issues with Darlington pair, which will be discussed later in this article. It is also known as ...

NPN BJTs are preferred power devices just as n-channel MOSFETs are. The complementary PNP configuration is, like the Darlington, a two-transistor combination that has three terminals like a single BJT ...
