We’ve previously remarked upon a generation lucky enough to be well-versed in microcontrollers and computersised electronics through being brought up on the Arduino or the Raspberry Pi but unlucky ...

PartSim is used in this example to simulate the Common Emitter Amplifier. The base bias voltage is set with the voltage divider arrangement. The input signal is amplified by the 2N2222 NPN transistor.

If you open up the perennial favourite electronics textbook The Art Of Electronics and turn to the section on transistors, you will see a little cartoon. A transistor is shown as a room in which ...
