Transistors Handbook - Your Transistor Guide. This app will guide you to know, choose, select and design your next board masterpiece using that transistor you weren’t remembering. With this app you can update the transistor informations and share it with other app users. What is a transistor? (from Wikipedia): “A transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify and switch electronic signals and power. It is composed of a semiconductor material with at least three terminals for connection to an external circuit. A voltage or current applied to one pair of the transistor's terminals changes the current flowing through another pair of terminals. Because the controlled (output) power can be much more than the controlling (input) power, a transistor can amplify a signal. Today, some transistors are packaged individually, but many more are found embedded in integrated circuits.” The transistor is the fundamental building block of modern electronic devices, and is ubiquitous in modern electronic systems. Following its release in the early 1950s the transistor revolutionized the field of electronics, and paved the way for smaller and cheaper radios, calculators, and computers, among other things.” With Transistors Handbook you will se the design, the kind and all the aspects of more than 51.000 transistors, the application will provide the following info: - Kind - Graphical Schema - Code - Type - Material - Power - VCB - VCE - VEB - LC - FT - HFE - Note of the Transistor - Similar - Online Datasheet You can also use the embedded search engine to search a transistor for its name or power. The coverage of the transistors is about the complete catalogue of the Silicon and Germanium. The series included are:, PNP and NPN, series 10 ~ 12, 14 ~ 19, 25 ~ 28, 2A ~ 2D, 2G, 2H, 2N, 2P, 2S, 2T, 30, 35, 37, 38, 3N, 3O, 3S, 3T, 40 ~ 43, 45, 4N, 50, 52, 55, 56, 5N, 60, 63, 6N, 71 ~ 74, 7N, 80, 81, 85, 90, 92, 94, A1, A5, A7, A8, AC, AD, AF, AJ ~ AM, AP, AR ~ AW, BC ~ BF, BJ, BL, BN, BP, BR ~ BV, C0 ~ C9, CA ~ CE, CG ~ CN, CP ~ CV, CX, D1 ~ D8, DA ~ DD, DH, DJ, DK, DM, DN, DP ~ DT, DW, DX, DZ, E1 ~ E3, E5 ~ E7, EA, EC, ED, EF, EJ, EL ~ EN, EQ ~ ET, EW, F1 ~ F5, FA ~ FH, FJ, FK, FM ~ FQ, FS, FT, FV, FX, FZ, G2, G6, GA ~ GF, GI, GM, GP, GS, GT, HA ~ HF, HK, HL, HN, HP, HS, HT, HV, HX, ID, IM, IN, IR, IT, J2, J4, J6, JA, JC, JE, JF, JO, K2, K4, K9, KD ~ KG, KM ~ KP, KR ~ KU, L4, L5, LB, LD, LI, LJ, LL ~ LP, LT, LX, M1, M2, MA ~ MH, MJ, MM ~ MU, MX, MZ, NA ~ NC, NJ, NK, NM, NP, NR ~ NT, NX, NZ, OC, OD, P2 ~ P4, P6, P7, P9, PB ~ PE, PH ~ PO, PR ~ PU, PX, PZ, Q, Q5, R3, R5, R7 ~ R9, RC, RE, RJ, RS, RT, RV, S0 ~ S2, S4 ~ S9, SA, SC ~ SH, SK, SM, SN, SP, SQ, SS, ST, SV, SX, SY, T0 ~ T3, TA, TB, TD ~ TF, TI, TK ~ TN, TP, TR, TS, TV, U2, UC, UM, UN, UP, V1, V2, V4, V7, W2, WT, XA ~ XC, XP, XQ, XS, ZB, ZD, ZG, ZH, ZT, ZU, ZX, with volts, frequencies, power, HFE (gain), similar transistors and pin design.

The MatrixAnalysis is carefully designed to be a simple and elegant app. This app has tools to help you analyze matrices like finding eigenvalues and eigenvectors, diagonalization, QR, SLU, LU factorization. This app can also be used to do matrix operations like, finding inverse, determinant, dot product, cross product, and much more. You can also do elementwise operations and scalar operations. Want to do fast fourier transform (FFT) or inverse fourier transform (IFFT), this app is capable of IFFT Want to find an pseudo inverse of a non-square matrix, this app has you covered Want to know a rotation matrix for a given angle or rotate a vector by the given angle? This app has you covered. The expressions and the solutions are displayed in beautiful mathematical way. Once the expressions are solved, a beautifully written solutions are created that you can share with other or save it locally. It automatically saves your hard work locally on your device so you can come back and pick up from where you left off as your great effort will not be lost. There is also a Study page to help you with learning some important matrix vector formulas and some useful technique. This is an app for all student groups. From high school to college to university students. Be creative. Enjoy the app!

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Transistors Handbook at fortnightly against Matrix's every 5 weeks. Transistors Handbook also leads on iOS requirement (11.4 vs 15.1). Matrix's advantage is price ($1.99 vs $3.99). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
