Questions and answers
What functions can semiconductor devices perform?
Semiconductor devices can and do perform all the conventional functions of rectification, amplification, oscillation, timing, switching, and sensing. (paragraph 1-17)
What sections make up most power supplies?
Most power supplies are made up of the following four basic sections: Transformer. Rectifier. Filter. Regulator. (paragraph 4-2)
What does the regulator do in a basic power supply?
The REGULATOR section does just what the name implies, it maintains the output of the power supply at a constant level in spite of large changes in load current or input line voltages. (paragraph 4-3)
How are most amplifiers classified?
Most amplifiers can be classified in two ways. (paragraph 5-9)
What happens if transistor absolute maximum ratings are exceeded?
The Absolute Maximum Ratings of the transistor are the direct voltage and current values that if exceeded in operation may result in transistor failure. (paragraph 2-88)
