Bipolar Transistor

Comparison between CMOS and TTL Logic Comparison between CMOS and TTL Logic - Which is Better and Why?

It might be surprising to know that the patent for a ‘field effect transistor’ predated the creation of the bipolar transistor by at least twenty years. However, bipolar transistors were quicker to catch on commercially, with the first chip made of bipolar transistors appearing in the 1960s, with MOSFET manufacturing technology being perfected in the 1980s and soon…

Simple H-Bridge Motor Driver Circuit using MOSFET Simple H-Bridge Motor Driver Circuit using MOSFET

At the outset, driving a motor might seem like an easy task – just hook the motor up to the appropriate voltage rail and it will start rotating. But this is not the perfect way to drive a motor, especially when there are other components involved in the circuit. Here, we will discuss one of the most commonly used and efficient ways to drive DC motors, the H-Bridge circuit.…
