AGENDA Diodes TRANSISTORS/FETS TUBES QUESTIONS
3
SEMICONDUCTORS VERY STABLE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE SILICON & GERMANIUM MOST COMMON SILCON ATOMS SHARE VALENCE ELECTRONS (8 ELECTRONS) CAN BE GOOD INSULATOR INTRINSIC- PURE MATERIAL, NO FREE CHARGE CARRIERS EXTRINSIC – MATERIAL DOPED WITH EXTRA CARRIERS

Diodes
13
DIODE APPLICATIONS SWITCH RECTIFICATION DEMODULATION REGULATION LIGHT EMITTING (LED)
14
RECTIFIERS
16
ZENER DIODES Used to regulate voltages Behaves normally when forward biased When reversed biased, non destructive voltage breakdown
17
ZENER Voltage
18
ZENER Regulation
19
TRANSISTORS 3 TERMINAL DEVICE 2 JUNCTIONS P-N-P N-P-N ALSO KNOWN AS “BIPOLAR TRANSISTOR” BASE CURRENT CONTROLS EMITTER/COLLECTOR CURRENT
20
NPN TRANSISTOR
21
PNP TRANSISTOR
22
FIELD EFFECT TRANSISTOR TWO TYPES JUNCTION FIELD EFFECT or JFET METAL OXIDE SILICON FIELD EFFECT or MOSFET A CONDUCTIVE CHANNEL WITH 2 JUNCTIONS N-CHANNEL P-CHANNEL
23
FETS
24
TRANSISTOR - FET EMITTER, BASE, COLLECTOR FOR BIAS INCREASES CURRENT CURRENT CONTROLS LOW INPUT Z SOURCE, GATE, DRAIN REV BIAS DECREASES CURRENT VOLTAGE CONTROLS HIGH INPUT Z
25
VACUUM TUBES Developed in late 1800’s and early 1900’s Still used in applications requiring high power or high voltages (power amplifiers)
26
Tube Construction Thermionic emission Filament (Heater) used to heat cathode Cathode made of tungsten and thorium Heated cathode emits an electron cloud Positive potential placed on Plate (Anode) to attract electrons Negative potential Grid used to control electron flow
27
Vacuum Diode
28
Vacuum Triode
29
Tubes – Take Aways Grid current – minimal or zero as long as Grid is negative relative to cathode Grid is usually a mesh Grid is closer to cathode Heater is farthest from Plate Used in high power applications Inside of envelope is a vacuum

31
AMPLIFICATION Produce an output which is an enlarged reproduction of the input. Device is called an AMPLIFIER An accurate reproduction is called “LINEAR” Imperfections in reproduction are called “DISTORTION” Tubes, Transistors, and FETs can all be amplifiers. Typically gain is measured in dB
32
Amplifier Applications AF (Audio Frequency) RF (Radio Frequency) IF (Intermediate Frequency) PA (Power Amplifier) Current, Voltage and or Power can all be amplified
33
Distortion
