Schottky diode is also known as the hot carrier diode is made up of semiconductor-metal junction rather than a p-n semiconductor junction. It is widely used for radio frequency, RF applications as a mixer or detector diode. In our previous articles, we explain about Zener Diode, Light emitting diode, Photodiode etc. In this article, we…
Photodiode operation is based on a mechanism known as the photoelectric effect, which creates electron-hole pair when a photon of sufficient energy strikes the diode.
Earlier we have studied about oscillator and its types. Here we are going to cover Wein Bridge Oscillator, its circuit with and without using op-amp. In our previous articles, we have explained LC oscillators i.e. Hartley oscillator and Colpitts oscillator and Crystal oscillator in detail. What is Wein Bridge Oscillator: Definition According to Wikipedia: A Wien…

Crystal oscillator is an electronic oscillator used to create an electrical signal of precise frequency by using the vibrating crystal mechanical resonance made of piezoelectric material. In our previous articles, we explain Hartley oscillators and Colpitts oscillators in brief. Here we are going to explain crystal oscillator and its circuit diagram in brief. There are…
Colpitts oscillator is another type of oscillator design used to produce an oscillation at a certain frequency. It was invented by the American engineer Edwin H. Colpitts in 1918. In our previous articles, we explain about Oscillator circuit and Hartley oscillator in detail. In this tutorial, we are going to explain Colpitts oscillator circuit, basics…
Hartley oscillator is a LC feedback circuit used to generate high-frequency waveforms or signals into which the oscillation frequency is determined by a tank circuit comprising of two inductors and one capacitor. In our previous article, we explain oscillator circuit and oscillator types in detail. In this article, we are going to explain Hartley oscillator and…
An oscillator is an electronic device which provides the source of a repetitive alternating current signal across its output terminal without needing any input because signal generated is usually of constant amplitude. Common signals generated includes clock signals, sound signals produced by video games, electronic beepers and broadcast signals by television and radio transmitters. In…
Great magic done by the Ashutosh Tiwari and his team, have discovered first stable p-type 2D semiconductor material at the University of Utah that opens the door for much speedier smartphones and computers. The semiconductor made of the element tin and oxygen, tin monoxide ( SnO) is a layer of 2D material only one atom…
Fet is categorized into Jfet and Mosfet, both are quite similar in their operating principles and electrical properties. In our previous articles, we explain Fet transistors and its operation, pn junction diode characteristics in detail. Here we are going to explain you in detail about JFET , Mosfet and difference between them. JFET( Junction Field Effect…
Pn junction diode is one of the most basic diodes. It is used in the construction of transistors, FET, Gates and many other types of integrated circuits. These are the easiest and basic diodes available in and use PN junction characteristics like depletion layer, diffusion and drift current. We prefer to read our article on PN…
