A transistor, or switch, controls the charging and discharging. This method makes for an efficient regulator but can be difficult to design.</p> <h2 id="show-notes">Show Notes</h2> <p>Here are links to the products mentioned in AddOhms #18:</p> https://www.addohms.com/active-component-symbols/ Sat, 30 Mar 2013 08:51:28 +0000 https://test.addohms.com/?page_id=52 <h2 id="part-2-active-component-symbols"><a href="https://addohms.squarespace.com/blog/2013/7/13/passive-component-schematic-symbols">Part 2: Active Component Symbols</a></h2> <div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden;"> <iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share; fullscreen" loading="eager" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/CpL5omjyfww?autoplay=0&amp;controls=1&amp;end=0&amp;loop=0&amp;mute=0&amp;start=0" style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; border:0;" title="YouTube video"></iframe> </div> <p>Schematics are the language used to describe electrical and electronic circuits.  To understand how to read them, you need to know how each of the basic symbols look.</p> <p>Part 2 of this 3 part tutorial describes the symbols used for active components like diodes, transistors (BJTs and MOSFETs).</p>
