How PinBench simulates it

  • Pick the type in its properties: NPN 2N3904, PNP 2N3906, N-MOSFET 2N7000, P-MOSFET BS250, Darlington TIP120, or the power MOSFETs IRLZ44N and IRF9540N.
  • Changing the type moves each wire to the pin in the same place: collector to drain, base to gate, emitter to source.
  • Switching and amplifying come from each type's model in the solver.
