CD4014 Shift Register : PinOut, Specifications, Circuit & Its Applications

By

A Register in digital electronics is a device, used for storing instruction, any type of data, or a storage address. It includes a set of flip-flops (FFs) which are connected within series for storing multiple data bits. The data which is stored in these registers can be transmitted using shift registers. A digital circuit that uses a cascade of flip-flops by connecting one flip-flop output to another flip-flop input is known as a shift register. a shift Register is a group of FFs used to store … [Read more...]

D882 Transistor : PinOut, Specifications, Circuit, Working & Its Applications

By

Generally, BJTs are available in two types; PNP and NPN which have three pins, used mainly for external connections. As compared to PNP, the flow of current in the NPN transistor will be from the collector terminal to the emitter. Generally, transistors are known as current-controlled devices because they control the input current. In both the PNP & NPN transistor’s conductivity, charge carriers play a key role. So, the majority of charge carriers in the NPN transistor are electrons whereas h … [Read more...]

Fast Recovery Diode : Construction, Working, Circuit, Differences & Its Applications

By

A diode is a two-terminal semiconductor device like; an anode and cathode where the anode is the positive end and the cathode is the negative end. The main function of a diode is to allow the flow of current only in a single direction from the anode terminal to the cathode. To remember in which way current supplies throughout a diode, you have to remember the mnemonic ACID which stands for “anode current in diode" or anode-cathode is a diode. These components are the most significant electronic c … [Read more...]
