Hi folks,
I suspect this has been asked and answered many times but I couldnt find anything definitive when I searched.
I am trying to understand how this works, I am using an N-Channel FET
I sort of expected, when I started looking that the PNP to be at the top with its collector to the gate and the NPN below it in a similar fashion.
How wrong can you be with just the one head?
I found several examples, pulled a couple of GP transistors from my box (2N3906 / 2N3904)
And shoved them onto a breadboard .
Well it works, but it occurred to me that it might be a really good idea to find out why and how. Particularly as I want to make sure it keeps working.
I would appreciate a leg up and some recommended reading, BJTs for dummies perhaps!!
Thanks in advance looking forward to learning.
