Difference between LED and photodiode
LED photodiode It has a light emitting diode. It has a light detecting device. The LED converts electrical energy into light energy. The photodiode converts light energy into electrical energy. Due to the recombination of electrons and
Following are the difference between waveguide and transmission line
Waveguide Transmission Line The waveguide is a hollow metallic structure through which electric and magnetic fields are transmitted. The transmission line is a conductor which is used to carry electrical signal over a long range. It has
Construction of a Schottky Diode
The Schottky diode is a two terminal device which is used in various applications such as mixer, ac to dc converter. The Schottky barrier diode is also known as “ hot carrier diode” or “surface barrier diode”.
Configuration of BJT circuit
In BJT configuration it requires two ports network namely input port and output port. The input port are require 2 input terminal and the output port require 2 output terminal therefore it requires 4 terminals due to
Advantages of Optical Fiber
The optical fibers have greater information carrying capacities than metallic conductors. The optical fiber are lighter and smaller. The optical fiber cables are cheaper to transport and easier to install than metal cables. The optical fibers and
Advantage of semiconductor diode over vaccum tubes
Advantage of semiconductor diode over vaccum tubes The semiconductor diode has very small interelectrode capacitances. This is very important in high frequency application. The semiconductor diode does not produce any current in the absence of applied voltage.
What is BJT (Bipolar junction transistor)?
BJT (Bipolar junction transistor) is also called as transistor. Its amplify the weak signal. Basically the bipolar junction transistor is a semiconductor device it constructed with three doped semiconductor regions i.e. base, emitter and collector. The current
IC terminology
Some of the common terms (IC terminology) are defined below: Bonding – attachment of wires to an IC. Chip – an extremely small part of a silicon on wafer on which IC is fabricated. One Si wafer
Advantage and Disadvantage of ICs (integrated circuits)
Advantages of IC The entire physical size of IC is extremely small than that of discrete circuit. The weight of an IC is very less as compared entire discrete circuits. It’s more reliable. Because of their smaller
Difference between Linear IC and Digital IC
Following are the difference between linear integrated circuits and digital integrated circuits: Linear ICs Digital ICs Linear ICs (Linear Integrated Circuits) are called as analog IC. Digital ICs (Digital Integrated Circuits) are also called as non linear
