2
Regions of a Transistor
3
A Bipolar Junction Transistor is a three terminal device containing 3 regions: Emitter, Base and Collector.
4
THE TRANSISTOR There are two types of (bipolar junction) transistors, npn and pnp Bipolar transistor symbols
5
NPN vs PNP NPN and PNP function the same way Power supply polarities are reversed For NPN, positive supply is used NPN has higher frequency response as electrons are the charge carriers. NPN is more widely used
6
A transistor consists of two PN junctions. Thus a transistor is like two PN – junction diodes connected back to back.

2.2 Packages Examples of transistor packages
8
Transistor Packages (low power & high power)
9
2.4 Transistor Configurations common emitter (CE) common base (CB) common collector (CC).
11
Currents in CE Circuit
12
2.5 Emitter, collector and base currents
13
In the CE configuration:

Transistor Operation Regions Operation Region BiasApplication CUT OFF REGION I B and I c are 0 (base-emitter junction is reverse biased) Open Switch (OFF) SATURATION REGION Base emitter junction is forward biased; I B flows Closed Switch (ON) ACTIVE REGION B-E junction is forward biased but C- E junction is reverse biased; Amplifier
15
Transistor Applications: Transistor can act as a Switch
17
Transistor Applications Switch Amplifier Oscillator
18
Transistor as a Switch Light operated switch Darkness operated switch Digital Logic Gates Switching power supply
19
Transistor as a Variable Resistor Amplifier Oscillator Modulator Detector
20
Light Failure Warning System using Transistor as a Switch
21
Light Failure Warning System In this, the transistor is used as a switch LDR is a light dependant resistor. It is a light sensor. When it is dark, LDR resistance increases; base current flows; the transistor becomes ON and relay switches. So the bell rings.
