Enrgtech stocks a supreme collection of digital transistors with different mounting types, ideal for a wide variety of applications. Read on further to understand their benefits, working principles more comprehensively, and uses.
What are digital transistors?
A digital transistor is a type of current booster—a discrete semiconductor with three terminals designed to amplify multiple electric power and electronic signals. They sink a small current at one end of the circuit (the input current) and generate a much larger current (the output current) at the other. They are the essential electronic components designed to function as switches.
What benefits do digital transistors offer?
These exquisite transistors offer multiple advantages, such as:
- Easy to use
- Simple circuit design
- Reduced system cost
- Reduces component count
- Reduced circuit board space
- Highly reliable
The working principle of digital transistors:
A digital transistor works as a switch and comprises semiconductor (usually silicon) materials that allow power conduction with slight resistance. They also feature three terminals that connect to external circuits conveniently. A small current flowing in the transistor’s part can generate a substantial current flowing in another part, which means it can switch small currents to larger ones.
Where are digital transistors used?
These transistors are found in a vast array of different applications, such as:
- Control of IC inputs
- Consumer applications
- Automotive applications
- Datacom applications
- Interface circuits
- Driver circuits
- Inverter circuits
- Cellular applications
- Switching loads.
