The Invention BIPOLAR JUNCTION TRANSISTORS
The Structure Bipolar : both electrons and holes are involved in current flow. Junction : has two p-n junctions. Transistor : Transfer + Resistor. It can be either n-p-n type or p-n-p type. Has three regions with three terminals labeled as: emitter, base and collector BIPOLAR JUNCTION TRANSISTORS
BIPOLAR JUNCTION TRANSISTORS The Structure: npn & pnp Base is made much narrow. Emitter is heavily doped ( p + , n + ). Base is lightly doped ( p - , n - ). Collector is lightly doped ( p, n ).
BIPOLAR JUNCTION TRANSISTORS Circuit Symbol Transistors can be constructed as two diodes that are connected together.
BIPOLAR JUNCTION TRANSISTORS Circuit Symbol Layout and Circuit Symbol: n-p-n Transistor
BIPOLAR JUNCTION TRANSISTORS Circuit Symbol Layout and Circuit Symbol: p-n-p Transistor The arrow indicates the direction of current flow. The current flows from emitter to collector in an p-n-p transistor. The arrow points towards the n-type. So the base is n-type and transistor is p-n-p type.
BIPOLAR JUNCTION TRANSISTORS Modes of Operation Based on the bias voltages applied at the two p-n junctions, transistors can operate in three modes : 1. Cut-off (both EB and CB junctions are reversed biased) 2. Saturation (both EB and CB junctions are forward biased) 3. Active mode (EBJ is forward biased and CBJ is reversed biased) Cut-off and Saturation modes are used in switching operation. Active mode is used in amplification purposes.

BIPOLAR JUNCTION TRANSISTORS Modes of Operation Cut-off Both the junctions are reversed biased. No current can flow through either of the junctions. So the circuit is open. Ideal model of BJT in cut-off.
BIPOLAR JUNCTION TRANSISTORS Modes of Operation SATURATION
BIPOLAR JUNCTION TRANSISTORS Modes of Operation Saturation: Ideal Model Ideal model of BJT in saturation. Both the junctions are forward biased. So the equivalent circuit can be represented by short-circuit between the base, emitter and collector.
BIPOLAR JUNCTION TRANSISTORS Modes of Operation Saturation: Practical Model V CE (sat) is in the range of 0.1 to 0.2 V, as V BC and V BE are both approximately equal to the diode forward drop.
