NPN/PNP/MOSFET Transistors (digital simulation)

[nt661974]

Would it be possible to add npn transistors to Wokwi? They are really useful for the creation of electronic switches.

Thanks for the suggestions! Do you have a specific project in mind?

Sorry I found out my solution. Either ways, thanks!

Now that there are relays, a transistor and a mosfet come into view, because they are almost the same as a relay.
There is no need for analog simulation.
As a start, I think it is okay to assume:

• emitter of NPN transistor and the source of a n-channel mosfet is connected to GND.
• emitter of PNP transistor and the source of a p-channel mosfet is connected to VCC.

A circuit where a transistor or mosfet drives a led or a relay is very common.
I was reading this topic at the arduino forum and I think that transistors and mosfets would be a good addition.

Thanks for the suggestion!

One major difference between relays and transistors are their response times (millis vs nanos). So with transistors, you'd be able to implement an oscillator that will crawl the simulation down to halt.

But I do see where they come into play when controlling LEDs and Relays. Other than the oscillator issue and the fact there's no real analog simulation, I think they shouldn't be too hard to implement.

This sure looks like a slippery slope to me..

It will generate problems and we will have to explain that it is only a digital simulation. Could something be added to the symbol ? Perhaps a gray symbol ?

[urish]

Gray symbol? What would it look like?

With the two colors and the dotted circle, it shows that there is something special about it.

It is very Important to add Transistors Llike BJT, FET, MOSTFETs Etc, Optocoupler, CI 555, Bare Atmega328p, OPAMs, Etc. like PROTEUS to have an Excelent Simulator.
