Pentode transistor
A pentode transistor is any transistor having five active terminals.
Early pentode transistors
One early pentode transistor was developed in the early 1950s as an improvement over the point-contact transistor.
- A point-contact transistor having three emitters. It became obsolete in the middle 1950s.
Pentode field-effect transistors having 3 gates, similar to vacuum tube pentodes have also been described[1]
Modern pentode transistors
- Triple emitter transistor in three input transistor-transistor logic gates.
- Triple collector transistor in three output integrated injection logic gates.
- Field effect transistor having three gates.
gollark: You could always pull out of fission reactor ports, you know.
gollark: I was joking about it causing slimes to phase through walls, but it does ban them spawning in superflat, and does give its creator special stuff.
gollark: No, really.
gollark: Like giving its author free ultra-powerful weapons when they log in or respawn.
gollark: Well, it has lots of undocumented "features".
