I organized it so the changes are minimal and clear. Here’s an example of breadboarded circuits: Fuzz Faces, NPN & PNP side by side on a breadboard C2 has to be reversed (note that positive lead is at 9V), but C1 should be left as is – because polarity for it did not change. And this is important because if we don’t wire up electrolytic capacitors correctly – they might be damaged or destroyed (and in extreme cases they could explode or catch fire). The only difference is that C2 has to be rotated, because polarity changed. A silicon temperature sensor exploits the temperature dependency of a transistor’s V be, as given by the Ebers-Moll equation, approximated by: where I c is the collector current, I s is the reverse saturation current of the transistor, q is the charge on an electron (1.602 × 10 19 coulombs), k is Boltzmann’s constant (1.38 × 10 23. The power rails for the amplifier part are swapped, as well, but that the same as when I tried out LPB-1 in PNP version. These are high gain transistors, if you used lower gain transistor for NPN version, and you like that sound maybe look for a lower gain PNP alternative. BC559C is PNP complement to BC549C that I tried out before. It is clear that I have to replace transistors – I went from BC109C NPN transistor to BC559C PNP transistor. An integrated circuit or monolithic integrated circuit (also referred to as an IC, a chip, or a microchip) is a set of electronic circuits on one small flat piece (or 'chip') of semiconductor material, usually silicon. Here are the differences highlighted: Fuzz Face – NPN & PNP version: differences A schematic diagram of the NIST nanowire transistor.

Here are side by side NPN and PNP version of the effect: Fuzz Face – NPN and PNP versions – side by side (click for full size image) Spot the DifferencesĪs with LPB-1 conversion, the diagram layout is practically the same. The schematic here is slightly adapted so it is easier to see/explain the differences. Schematic is the same that I did earlier, if you want to know more about the circuit be sure to have a look at the build page for the effect, or you can jump straight into more detailed look at it. I go through schematic and some extra details here, but if you prefer just seeing the video – go straight to it. I’ll breadboard a Fuzz Face clone, and then I’ll swap NPN transistors with PNP transistors.
#TRANSISTOR SCHEMATIC SILICON HOW TO#
I did a post on how to modify circuit from using NPN to using PNP transistors, and as a bonus I added a quick note on how to do this for Fuzz Face.
