A transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify and switch electronic signals and electrical power. The transistor is the fundamental building block of modern electronic devices There are two types of transistors Bipolar Junction Transistor Field-effect Transistor
Bipolar Junction Transistor Bipolar junction transistor (BJTs) is made by three doped semiconductor region separated by two pn junctions sown in figure 1. The term bipolar refers to use both the holes and electrons as carriers in the transistors structure. There are two types of BJTs npn (two n-regions separated by a p region) pnp (two p-regions separated by a n region)
BASIC BJTs CONSTRUCTION The pn-junction joining the base region and emitter region is called base emitter junction The pn-junction joining the base region and collector region is called base-collector junction A wire lead is connected to each of three region. These leads are labeled E, B and C for emitter, base and collector respectively as shown in figure-1 (b). The base region is highly doped as compare to heavily doped emitter and moderately doped collector regions
BASIC BJTS OPERATION • Base- emitter junction is forward bias • Base collector junction is reverse bias
Voltage across RB is By Ohms law The value of IBis then
Voltage at collector Voltage across RC Then the voltage at collector The voltage at reverse bias collector base junction
DC Beta(βDC)b The ratio of collector current to base current is the current gain of transistors and is given by Typical values of βDCranges from 20 to 200.
Dc Alpha (αDC) The ratio of collector current to emitter current is the dc αDC and is given by The values of αDC range from 0.95- 0.99 but always less than 1.
