The Schmitt trigger is a bistable circuit widely used in digital and analog applications. It is primarily employed for signal conditioning, converting noisy, analog signals into clean, digital ones, and plays a critical role in eliminating the ambiguity associated with fluctuating or noisy input signals. A distinctive feature of the Schmitt trigger is the concept […]
Let’s get started with types of oscillators, how they work? and what are the common applications of oscillators. What is Oscillator? Oscillators are electronic circuits that generate periodic waveforms from a DC source without any external input signal. They are widely used in various applications, including clocks, radios, computers, and signal processing. Working of Oscillator: […]

A Step Recovery Diode (SRD) is a special type of semiconductor diode also called as snap-off diode, charge storage diode and memory varactor diode. Step recovery diodes are having a different style of doping. It is not like a normal PN junction diode, it is a voltage dependent variable capacitor. The density of charge carrier […]
Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJT) are widely used for amplification and switching purposes. It consists of three layers of doped material, forming two PN junctions. These layers are called the emitter, base, and collector. There are two main types of BJTs: NPN and PNP, which differ in the arrangement and type of charge carriers involved. Symbol […]
Capacitors are fundamental components in electronic circuits, performing various critical functions. Among the many types of capacitors, coupling, decoupling, and bypass capacitors are particularly important. Although they might seem similar at first glance, each serves a unique purpose in ensuring the proper functioning of electronic systems. This article explores the differences between coupling, decoupling, and […]
