1 A very gentle intro

2 The invention that changed everything… The real thingCircuit diagram symbol

3 BJT’s animated

4 Transistors as switch analogy The gate has to swing open for horses to start running around the track. Base (B) has to ‘open’ the electrons to flow from E to C = conventional current flow from C to E

5 What transistors are good for ~731M transistors in Intel core i7

6 Transistor action: BJT BJT = Bipolar Junction Transistor Goal: control current flow from collector to emitter by input signal at base Fluid Analogy: Small signal controls a much larger signal

7 Transistor action: electron flow N N P Emitter Base Collector - - - - - - For conventional current flow (tracking positive charge movement), flip the arrows!

8 Bipolar Transistor Parameters BE: fwd bias to get e- flowing BC: rev bias to vacuum up e- making the journey through BJT

9 Output Characteristic Active region (light blue): I c =  I B I c ~independent of V CE Saturation (yellowish): I c depends on V CE and I B Digital switch applications 0.1 – 0.3V Saturation

10 Input characteristic Transistor ON  Fwd biased diode Working on the steep part of the curve (blue dotted box highlights normal operating range)   V BE small   I B relatively large * Rule of thumb: use V BE ~ 0.7V when designing BJT circuits IBIB V BE IBIB

11 Transistor-LED switch Example V CC = 15 V V BB = 5V R L = ?  R B = ?  V LED = 3.5 V (blue) Design: I LED  m  1. KVL CE “big loop”: 0 = V CC – V LED – I C R L – V CE 2. KVL BE “small loop” 0 = V BB – I B R B - V BE

12 Typical configurations
