Re: [PLUG] Component Level
|
A transister requires three pins. One to ground, one to voltage and the
third is the control. In signal modifying applications, this is the one
that puts the signal in with the others doing the applications, in
switching this is the original true or false. Feedback?
Diodes do only two pins. Back in the bad old days of tubes, more pins
were required to take care of the capacitance caused by the massive
components.
They must be running this as a simple diode. It does come to pass that
when you design in the shop, you use the parts that you can actually get
ahold of. You may be looking at a hardware kludge that got enshrined in
the production model because nobody thought to correct it.
