Best Answer

Transistors are made up of semiconductor materials with very low power dissipation. Semi conductors are sensitive to high voltages and current and can be easily destroyed.

These devices are commonly used for switching as well as amplifying action.

Recent developments in semiconductor technology have enabled them to be made to withstand higher currents and voltages.

Switch mode power supplies use transistors which work at 300v and many amps.

Why transistor is called transfer of resistor?

Transistor=Transfer+Resistor. When Transistor operates in active region its input resistance is high and output resistance is low. So,We can consider transistor as a device which transfers its resistance from high to low. And by this property transistor amplifies input signal.

What does x denote in 74x151 ic?

It's the "family" the device belongs to. The 74151 is the original Transistor-Transistor Logic (TTL) device. The 74L151 is the low-power ("L") version. Slower than the original TTL family. Others are: S - Schottky (high-speed) LS - low-power high speed. About equivalent in speed to the original TTL, but lower power. ALS advanced low-power high-speed C - Complementary Metal-Oxide Silicon, which uses a different technology (CMOS rather than bipolar transistors), but conforms to the "74"-series logic functions. Much lower power consumption than TTL devices described above.

Different between power transistor and transistor that used in small signal?

Power transistor can conduct large amount of currents through it, more than small signal transistor. power transistor has a vertical structure and small signal transistor has horizontal structure.In power transistor quasi saturation region is present which is absent in the small signal transistor. In power transistor there is a inculsion of drift layer which is not there in the small signal transistor. Power dissipation is less in power transistor and it is more in small signal transistor. b.v.polytechnic,vasai pushkar vaity.
