A Planet Analog article, “2N3904: Why use a 60-year-old transistor?” by Bill Schweber, inspired some interest in this old transistor and how it’s commonly used, and if any uncommon uses might exist.
A very simple but highly efficient combination lock circuit is shown in the figure. Any type of on/off switches can be used, varying from commercially available inexpensive types to more sophisticated ...
A little over a year ago, I had a project that required driving an RF single-pole double-throw (SPDT) coaxial switch either by transistor-transistor-logic (TTL) pulses sent by an external source or by ...
