FesZ Electronics | Electronics Tutorial - 1/3 Driving multiple BJT transistors in parallel @FesZElectronics | Uploaded December 2020 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
#101 In this video I look at what can be done when you don't have a big enough transistor - use a bunch driven in parallel of course! I look at various ways of equalizing the currents that run trough the multiple parallel transistors and what sort of problems can occur when this sort of measures are not implemented.
