Q&A Thévenins Theorem for Transistor Circuit

I am calculating the base current of transistor Q1. To simplify the circuit equations, I applied the Thévenin's theorem twice and converted V1 and R1, R2 into Vth and Rth as shown in the image. Vt...

Q&A Confusion with Wikipedia article on multivibrator circuit [closed]

A while ago I made a question about the monostable multivibrator .Lets get a picture of it: When switch is closed it enters its unstable state and it eventually returns to the stable state Howe...

Q&A What is the difference between emitter and collector of a transistor?

In all descriptions of how (non-FET) transistors work I've seen, there is an inherent symmetry: There's either an n-doped layer between two p-doped, or a p-doped between two n-doped, and the descri...

Q&A Using FET based followers and design rules

Usually, voltage followers are built with bipolar transistors (or with opamps if better precision is needed). In this case, the simple rule says that the transistor emitter "follows" the input vol...

Q&A Purpose of emitter resistor in a common collector amplifier

I see a lot of common collector amplifiers with the output taken across an emitter resistor. What is the purpose of doing it this way instead of connecting your load directly to the emitter? I shou...

Q&A Complementary transistor pairs - what is the point ?

I understand that some applications require NPN-PNP pairs with identical electrical characteristics. But I would like to understand why.
