Motors and transistors are very common electronic components. This article aims to provide some of the basics, along with a working code example, circuits and schematics. When a pushbutton connected ...

A teacher I know is stuck, with only npn transistors in the supply cupboard and the need to create a reversible motor drive for an Arduino project. Reversing ‘bridges’ have four switches (relay ...

From a simple electronic toothbrush to complicated robotics systems, DC motors are present everywhere. In most of our previous Arduino projects, we have used these DC motors as actuators and ...

With a collector-emitter voltage of 60 V, the ZX5T851Z (npn) and ZX5T951Z (pnp) bipolar transistors can handle the voltage demands of medium-power motor drive circuits. Features of the SOT89-packaged ...

The Arduino Opta micro programmable logic controller (PLC) provides a unique entry point into the automation field. Automation fields like smart homes, process controls, and robotics are project areas ...

Able to withstand the voltage demands of medium-power motor drive circuits, ZX5T851Z npn and ZX5T951Z pnp bipolar transistors accommodate stall currents and help to keep on-state losses to a minimum.

It is made from a sandwich of three layers of semiconductor material: two layers of n-type material, which is a semiconductor doped with elements that provide extra electrons, and one layer of p-type ...
