The Unijunction Transistor (UJT) is a three-terminal semiconductor device that is mainly used for triggering, pulse generation, relaxation oscillators, and phase control circuits. Unlike the Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) or Field Effect Transistor (FET), the UJT does not function as an amplifier; instead, it acts as a switching device with negative resistance characteristics. The UJT […]

Difference Between Synchronous and Asynchronous Counters
Counters are fundamental digital circuits used in sequential logic for counting purposes. They are broadly classified into two types: Synchronous Counters and Asynchronous Counters. Understanding the difference between synchronous and asynchronous counters helps in choosing the right type for specific applications in digital electronics. These counters play a crucial role in modern digital systems, ranging […]
