A Bipolar Junction Transistor is a three terminal device containing 3 regions: Emitter , Base and Collector.
THE TRANSISTOR There are two types of (bipolar junction) transistors, npn and pnp Bipolar transistor symbols
NPN vs PNP • NPN and PNP function the same way • Power supply polarities are reversed • For NPN, positive supply is used • NPN has higher frequency response as electrons are the charge carriers. • NPN is more widely used
A transistor consists of two PN junctions. Thus a transistor is like two PN – junction diodes connected back to back.
2.2Packages Examples of transistor packages
2.4 Transistor Configurations • common emitter (CE) • common base (CB) • common collector (CC).
Transistor Applications • Switch • Amplifier • Oscillator
Transistor as a Switch • Light operated switch • Darkness operated switch • Digital Logic Gates • Switching power supply
Transistor as a Variable Resistor • Amplifier • Oscillator • Modulator • Detector
Light Failure Warning System • In this, the transistor is used as a switch • LDR is a light dependant resistor. It is a light sensor. • When it is dark, LDR resistance increases; base current flows; the transistor becomes ON and relay switches. So the bell rings.
