Two or more elements
Transistor
Main applications of transistor
Switching
Amplifying
Two elements of transistor
BJT
FET
“IGFET”
MOSFET
Uses both holes and electrons
BJT
Types of BJT
NPN
PNP
Most used BJT since most of majority carrier are electrons
NPN
Has larger region for stability
Collector
Is very thin for minimum recombination
Base
___ potential at output part of bjt
Higher
% of Ie flows at the collector
98%
Part of bjt that is moderately doped
Collector
Heavily doped region of bjt
Emitter
Lightly doped
Base
For normal operation of a pnp BJT, the base must be ____ with respect to the emitter and ____ with respect to the collector
Negative, positive
In bipolar junction transistor, the base region is made very thib so that:
Recombination in base region is minimum
The primary function of the bias circuit is to
Hold the circuit stable at the designed Q-point
Used to establish a DC operating point or Q-point
DC analysis or DC biasing
5 types of DC analysis or biasing
Fixed or base bias
Emitter stabilizer
DC collector feedback bias or self-bias
TSEB (Two-source emitter bias) or emitter bias
Combinational bias system or voltage divider
Poor stability due to Beta dependent on temperature
Used for switching
Fixed bias or base bias
Current gain, amplification factor
Beta
2 to 5 biasing are used for
Amplifier
Good for stability due to RE and CE
Emitter stabilizer bias
In capacitor: DC is ____
Open
