Transistors[edit source | editbeta] Transistors were considered the invention of the twentieth century that changed electronic circuits forever. A transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify and switch electronic signals and electrical power. Transistors Bipolar junction transistor (BJT, or simply "transistor") – NPN or PNP Photo transistor – Amplified photodetector Darlington transistor – NPN or PNP Photo Darlington – Amplified photodetector Sziklai pair (Compound transistor, complementary Darlington) Field-effect transistor (FET) JFET (Junction Field-Effect Transistor) – N-CHANNEL or P-CHANNEL MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor FET) – N-CHANNEL or P-CHANNEL MESFET (MEtal Semiconductor FET) HEMT (High electron mobility transistor) Thyristors Silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) – Passes current only after triggered by a sufficient control voltage on its gate TRIAC (TRIode for Alternating Current) – Bidirectional SCR Unijunction transistor (UJT) Programmable Unijunction transistor (PUT) SIT (Static induction transistor) SITh (Static induction thyristor Composite transistors IGBT (Insulated-gate bipolar transistor)
