    Newbie Question on NPN Transistors

    Thanks for the replies, that explains the NPN / PNP difference to me. No I am not using the same resistance values as the diagram. For the base, I am using 5.1k and for the collector 510 ohms. Both having 5 volts (app) creates the 10:1 ratio you mentioned. These values were decided upon...

    Newbie Question on NPN Transistors

    Well, the schematic is here...... https://www.electro-tech-online.com/attachments/pnp_led_driver-gif.6809/ The only difference between this circuit and mine is that I have put a 'pull down' resistor from the output of the 595 to ground to prevent the base of the transistor from floating...

    Newbie Question on NPN Transistors

    Dragging up an old post! Greetings everyone, I have been playing with the transistor switch circuit in Uncle $crooge's post for exactly the same application - switching segments of a 7 segment display (multiplexed) - from a 74HC595. The only difference between this circuit and mine is that I...
