UNIJUNCTION TRANSISTOR (UJT) Physical structure One lightly-doped (high resistivity) silicon slab. Two base contacts (B1 and B2) at both end of the slab. The p-n junction is form by alloying an aluminum rod to the slab. The aluminum rod is closer to B2 contact than B1 contact. B2 is made positive with respect to B1.

UNIJUNCTION TRANSISTOR (UJT) Physical structure

UNIJUNCTION TRANSISTOR (UJT) Equivalent circuit The equivalent circuit comprised of two resistors, one fixed (RB2) and one variable (RB1) and a single diode (D). RB1 varies with IE. Variation of RB1 : 5 k to 50  for the corresponding variation of 0 A to 50 A in IE.

UNIJUNCTION TRANSISTOR (UJT) Equivalent circuit

UNIJUNCTION TRANSISTOR (UJT) Equivalent circuit RBB is the interbase resistance when IE = 0 i.e. Typical range of RBB : 4 k - 10 k The position of the aluminum rod determine the ralative values of RB1 and RB2.

UNIJUNCTION TRANSISTOR (UJT)

UNIJUNCTION TRANSISTOR (UJT) For VE > VRB1 by VD (0.35  0.70 V), the diode will fire and IE will begin to flow through RB1.

UNIJUNCTION TRANSISTOR (UJT) The emitter firing potential VP is given by:

UNIJUNCTION TRANSISTOR (UJT) The emitter characteristics: For fixed values of  and VD, VP varies with VBB.

UJT RELAXATION OSCILLATORS Basic UJT relaxation oscilator

UJT RELAXATION OSCILLATORS The operation Assume that the initial capacitor voltage, VC is zero. When the supply voltage VBB is first applied, the UJT is in the OFF state. IE is zero and C charges exponentially through R1 towards VBB.

UJT RELAXATION OSCILLATORS When the supply voltage VC (= VE) reaches the firing potential, VP, the UJT fires and C discharges exponentially through R2 until VE reaches the valley potential VV.

UJT RELAXATION OSCILLATORS When VE reaches the valley potential VV the UJT turns OFF, IE goes to zero and the capacitor is recharged. This process repeats itself to produce the waveforms for vC and vR2 as shown below;

UJT RELAXATION OSCILLATORS

UJT RELAXATION OSCILLATORS Condition for switching-ON To switch-on a UJT, the emitter current IE must be able to reach the peak current IP i.e.

UJT RELAXATION OSCILLATORS Condition for switching-ON

UJT RELAXATION OSCILLATORS Condition for switching-ON In other words, R1 must be small enough such that IE is not limited to a value less than IP when VC = VP.

UJT RELAXATION OSCILLATORS Condition for switching-ON Thus, to fire the UJT;

UJT RELAXATION OSCILLATORS Condition for switching-OFF To switch-off a UJT, the emitter current IE must drop below IV when VC = VV. Hence;

UJT RELAXATION OSCILLATORS Condition for switching-OFF Thus, to fire the UJT;

UJT RELAXATION OSCILLATORS Thus, to ensure the switching ON and OFF, the following condition must be met;
