Both p and n are the basic semiconductors arrived from the concept of doping. Hence the basic difference between p and n-type is the way or the nature of the doping involved. Semiconductors can be differentiated as intrinsic and extrinsic as per the matter of purity concerned. P-type and N-type semiconductors come under extrinsic semiconductors. Although they are categorized under the same category of extrinsic there behaviors are extremely different based on its dopants. However, they have … [Read more...]

What is an P-type Semiconductor?
A crystal that has its conduction value in between conductor and insulator is termed as the semiconductor.It can be formed by the addition of impurities. It can be referred to as either p-type or n-type. Hence its conduction is based on the types and the amount of impurity added. These solids conduction value is proportional to the temperature value. As the temperature increases its conduction value increases as temperature degrades then the conduction of the semiconductor tends to … [Read more...]

LM337 IC : PinOut, Features, Specifications, Circuit, Working, Datasheet & Its Applications
Generally integrated circuits are available in different forms like logic gates, 555 timers, microprocessors, microcontrollers, op-amps, and voltage regulator ICs like LM338, LM358, LM337, LM741, LM324 IC, and LM339 IC. So a voltage regulator is an electronic circuit that supplies a stable voltage instead of changes within the input voltage (or) load. So it is a significant component in power supply circuits. This IC can be designed with discrete electronic components like transistors and … [Read more...]
LM7912 IC : PinOut, Features, Specifications, Circuit,Working, Datasheet & Its Applications
A negative voltage regulator is an integrated circuit designed specifically to generate a stable negative output voltage which means the voltage is below the ground reference. So it is used where a stable negative voltage is necessary in particular audio amplifiers and op-amp circuits that require both power supplies. The main function of the negative voltage regulator is to regulate a negative incoming voltage to give a stable and lower negative output voltage, even if the input voltage varies. … [Read more...]

Operational amplifiers, or op-amps, play an essential role in audio systems. So, if any sound system generates noise feedback, then there are some possible solutions. Among them is a NE5532 pre-amp circuit because of its efficiency and high-quality sound. The NE5532 is a bipolar, dual monolithic and internally compensated op amp introduced in 1979 by ‘Signetics’ for audio applications. Generally, preamplifier ICs work by enhancing the input signal; thus, your audio equipment can provide better so … [Read more...]
KY-023 Joystick Module : PinOut, Features, Specifications, Types, Interfacing & Its Applications
The first ‘Joystick technology’ was introduced in the early 20th century for use in aircraft. So this was patented by Ralph Baer in 1944 who invented the first video game console. So joysticks were used widely in video games in the years 1970s & 1980s. Joysticks are used as controlled devices in elevators & aircraft ailerons. So these are first used on the Bleriot VIII aircraft of Louis Bleriot in combination with a foot-controlled rudder bar on the tail for the yaw control surface. This … [Read more...]
J310 JFET : PinOut, Specifications, Circuit, Working, Datasheet & Its Applications
The junction field effect transistor or JFET is a fundamental component in electronics that operates on the electric field control principle. It includes three terminals; gate (G), drain (D), and source (S). JFET is a voltage-controlled device compared to the Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT). The current flow in JFET is because of the majority of charge carriers but the current flow in BJT is because of both majority and minority charge carriers. This article provides an overview of J310 JFET, i … [Read more...]
BD242 Transistor : PinOut, Specifications, Circuit, Working, Datasheet, Equivalent & Its Applications
The transistor is a three-terminal semiconductor electronic device, used as a switch or an amplifier. Generally, transistors can be available in either PNP/NPN polarity with different switching and power speed ratings. If a transistor handles >1 Amps of collector current, then it is considered generally as a power transistor. These transistors must have less output resistance to deliver huge load currents and good junction insulation to oppose high voltages. These transistors can also … [Read more...]
BD680 Transistor : PinOut, Specifications, Circuit, Working, Datasheet & Its Applications
A Darlington transistor is an electronic component that includes the combination of two PNP or NPN bipolar junction transistors which are connected back to back. The first transistor’s emitter terminal is connected to the second transistor’s base terminal. Therefore, the base supply is only provided to the primary transistor whereas the output current is received simply from the second transistor. So two transistors allow an extremely high amount of current gain. This can be achieved through com … [Read more...]
