The main basic function of a BJT is to amplify current it will allow BJTs are used as amplifiers or switches to produce wide applicability in electronic equipment include mobile phones, industrial control, television, and radio transmitters. There are two different types of BJTs are available, they are NPN and PNP.

As we said before, transistors are DC components. This means that the output will also be a DC voltage. But if we amplify an AC voltage, then we probably want to get an AC voltage at the output as well.

Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor. The Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor also called an IGBT for short, is something of a cross between a conventional Bipolar Junction Transistor, (BJT) and a Field Effect Transistor, (MOSFET) making it ideal as a semiconductor switching device.

BJTS and FETs can be used as switches and amplifiers in electrical and electronics circuits. The major difference between BJT and FET is that, in a field effect transistor only majority charge carries flows, whereas in BJT both majority and minority charge carriers flows.

Fundamentally the operation of the BJT involves injection of minority carriers from base to emitter (this is the base current) and diffusion of majority carriers (emitter current) from emitter to base. ... Book by author Donald Neamen refers BJT as voltage controlled current device.

Transistor Amplifier A transistor acts as an amplifier by raising the strength of a weak signal. The DC bias voltage applied to the emitter base junction, makes it remain in forward biased condition. ... Thus a small input voltage results in a large output voltage, which shows that the transistor works as an amplifier.

So in one case a moving charge (current) and in other static charge (voltage) controls the output. This happens because in BJT the Base-Emitter junction conducts the charge of control current.

The fundamental principle behind all transistors is simple: Current flow between two terminals is prevented by an energy barrier that has been set up between them. To operate the transistor, a third terminal is provided that allows you to lower the energy barrier.

transistor goes to active region. in active region transistor gives the actual replica of signal at the collector as shown. voltage amplifier increase only the voltage level of signal. ... as compared to power amplifier less heat generates as it minimizes the current at some extent.

It actually performs a “level shift” in DC voltage. ... A BJT actually does amplify a DC signal. It multiplies (amplifies) the DC current input to the “base”, and this amplified current is extracted at the “collector” or “emitter”. The amplification is a property of a BJT called the “beta”.

The NPN transistor is designed to pass electrons from the emitter to the collector (so conventional current flows from collector to emitter). The emitter "emits" electrons into the base, which controls the number of electrons the emitter emits. ... The transistor is kind of like an electron valve.

FETs are voltage-sensitive devices with high input impedance (on the order of 107 to 1012 Ω). Since this input impedance is considerably higher than that of BJTs, FETs are preferred over BJTs for use as the input stage to a multistage amplifier. ... Power FETs can dissipate high power and can switch large currents.

Junction Field Effect Transistor. ... The Field Effect Transistor, or simply FET however, uses the voltage that is applied to their input terminal, called the Gate to control the current flowing through them resulting in the output current being proportional to the input voltage.

FETs are devices with three terminals: source, gate, and drain. FETs control the flow of current by the application of a voltage to the gate, which in turn alters the conductivity between the drain and source.

This means that a small signal voltage variation at the input of the transistor produces a large emitter current variation. This shown that the input resistance of a transistor is low. ... Due to it a very large change in collector voltage shows only a small change in the collector current.

Unijunction Transistor, or simply UJT has an emitter and two bases, unlike a normal transistor. This component is especially famous for its negative resistance property and also for its application as a relaxation oscillator.

The obvious advantage of a MOSFET is its very low drain-source on state voltage drop because of a very low drain-source on state resistance (RDSON). For a BJT, the collector-emitter saturation voltage may vary with the level of the base current and the collector current or simply the load.
