And to you question the difference between pnp and npn transistor is the polarity of the emitter node. The other two are collector and base ----- Original Message ----- | From: "aki" <aki275@gmail.com> | To: "Skunkworks Mailing List" <skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> | Sent: Monday, December 5, 2011 8:50:20 PM | Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] Enable Sony Home Theatre play and recognize | proprietary formats | @James, sideline to this thread: Sony spend a lot of time on research | and development of processors, thus the data will not be available. | This goes for all chip designers, and yes you can never have the | access to those diagrams either. Am still waiting for the socialist | movements world to engineer even the oldest computer processor | known. | A question to you, out of interest: How do you tell the difference | between a npn and pnp transistors and how would you determine the | base, collector and emitter of a simple transistor. Once you | determine the 3 items, how would they connect to a voltage source | for e.g. switching a current or voltage source. This is like really | really old school.
