A Bipolar Transistor essentially consists of a pair of PN Junction Diodes that are joined back-to-back. This forms a sort of a sandwich where one kind of semiconductor is placed in between two others. There are therefore two kinds of Bipolar sandwich, the NPN and PNP varieties. The three layers of the sandwich are conventionally called the Collector, Base, and Emitter.
Some of the basic properties exhibited by a Bipolar Transistor are immediately recognizable as being diode-like. However, when the 'filling' of the sandwich is fairly thin some interesting effects become possible that allow us to use the Transistor as an amplifier or a switch. To see how the Bipolar Transistor works we can concentrate on the NPN variety.

Chapter 14 Operational Amplifiers
Introduction • Operational Amplifiers are integrated circuits (IC’s) that have a number of advantages over the standalone transistors. • Circuit Symbol and IC Pinouts
Ideal Op-Amp (page 609) • The circuitry of an operational amplifier with a closed, negative-feedback loop will adjust its output in any way possible to make the inverting input and non-inverting input terminals of the device equal in voltage. • Infinite Input Impedance • The inputs draw no current. • The output impedance is zero.
Inverting Amplifier • How does Vout depend in Vin? • Is there a phase shift between Vout and Vin?
Non-Inverting Amplifier • How does Vout depend in Vin? • Is there a phase shift between Vout and Vin?
Voltage Follower • How does Vout depend in Vin? • Is there a phase shift between Vout and Vin?
Difference Amplifier • How does Vout depend in Vin? • Is there a phase shift between Vout and Vin?
