Transistor Switching Networks Transistors with only the DC source applied can be used as electronic switches ELEC 121
Switching Circuit Calculations • The transistor will switch between saturation and cutoff regions. • You must ensure that: • Also consider the resistance across the transistor at saturation: • The resistance across the transistor in cutoff is theoretically infinite, but it is calculated: ELEC 121
Switching Circuit Calculations ELEC 121
Switching Time Another consideration is the time it takes the transistor to switch. ELEC 121
