unusual facts about bipolar transistor



Flicker noise

MOSFETs have a higher fc (can be in the GHz range) than JFETs or bipolar transistors which is usually below 2 kHz for the latter.

X704

The microprocessor was notable for its high clock frequency (for the time, circa 1997) in the range of 400 to 533 MHz, its use of bipolar transistors for logic and CMOS circuits for memory, and its failure to see use in an Apple Macintosh, the opposite of what industry observers such as Microprocessor Report expected.
