Hello friends, I hope this article finds you happy, healthy, and content. Today, we are about to discuss one of the most commonly known types of transistors which you might have heard of many times when reading about transistors, the transistor under study is none other than the “Bipolar Junction Transistor’’, also known as BJT . In this article, we will go through the basics of the bipolar junction transistor including its meaning ,definition, types, characteristics, and applications. So, let's get started.
Definition of BJT
A BJT in its full form is written as bipolar junction transistor and we can define it as,
"A bipolar junction transistor is a three-terminal semiconductor device which is made up of two PN junctions within its structure a ...
Hey Friends! Hope you are doing great. I am back to give you a daily dose of valuable information so you can always stay ahead of your competitors. I have previously updated the article on NPN transistor that is used for amplification and switching purpose. Today, I am going to unveil the details on the Introduction to PNP Transistor which falls under the category of bipolar junction transistors and comes with three layers i.e. two P-doped layers and one N-doped layer where an N-doped layer exists between two P-doped layers.
Main Function: Small current at one terminal is used to control large current at other terminals.
Major Charge Carriers: Holes
These NPN and PNP transistors come with their own benefits based on the nature of the e ...
