The Tiny Switch That Runs Every Computer and Gadget
Nearly every piece of technology you use—from smartphones to computers—relies on one revolutionary component: the transistor.
This video explains how transistors work and how they are used to switch and amplify electrical signals in electronic circuits. Transistors are fundamental to all modern digital and analog systems.
Here is a close look at the common- versus differential-mode voltage and instrumentation amplifier (IA) topologies.
