What Is a Bipolar Switch?
Bipolar switches are a type of transistor switch controlling the ON/OFF states of electronic circuits. “Bipolar” refers to their two-pole operation, utilizing positive and negative electrodes.
The adoption of bipolar switches has facilitated the miniaturization of transistors, enhancing precision, performance, efficiency, and reducing power consumption. Despite the rise of advanced unipolar switches, bipolar switches remain widely used and relevant.
