(C)Element 3-26 Transistors 2 Flashcards
A common base amplifier has
more voltage gain than common emmitor or common collector
what does it mean for a transistor to be cut off?
there is no current between emitter and collector
An emitter follower amplifier has
more current gain than most common emitter or common base
What conditions exists when a transistor is operating in saturation?
the base emitter junction and collector base junction are both forward biased
For current to flow in an NPN silicon transistors emitter collector junction, base must be:
.7 volts with respect to the emitter
When an NPN transistor is operating as a Class A amplifier, the base emitter junction:
base emitter is forward based and the collector base junction is reverse biased
