He does explain why PNP transistors don’t perform as well as corresponding NPN transistors, but they are still necessary sometimes. Once you get used to it, they are no problem to handle at all.

The condition is just reversed in the case of a PNP transistor as shown in Fig.4. The base-emitter junction of T1 forward biased and the base-collector junction is reverse biased. In this state,T1 ...

The +ve lines in a PNP transistor become a common point for input and output that cannot be dropped. NPN transistor, the -ve lines create a single topic for both input and output, grounded.

Many Linear Technology devices use an external PNP transistor to sense temperature. Common examples are LTC3880, LTC3883 and LTC2974. Accurate temperature sensing depends on proper PNP selection, ...

Zetex Semiconductors pair of low-voltage PNP transistors, the ZXTP25020CFF and ZXTP19020DFF, feature low saturation voltages and high currents, serving as cost-effective switchers in a variety of ...

PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Diodes Incorporated (Nasdaq: DIOD) today announced the availability of the automotive-compliant ZXTP56060FDBQ and ZXTP56020FDBQ dual PNP transistors.These new ...

In a world of mosfets and hemts, it is not often you see a new pnp power transistor. Earlier this year, Diodes did just that, with some 2.5W dual pnp bipolars for switching automotive lighting – ...

Shrinking silicon transistors have reached their physical limits, but a team from the University of Tokyo is rewriting the rules. They've created a cutting-edge transistor using gallium-doped ...
