BIJUNCTION TRANSISTOR
C

Transistor
 A transistor is a semiconductor device used to
amplify and switch electronic signals.
 A transistor is made up of three layers – an ‘n’
layer sandwiched between two ‘p’ layers or a ‘p’
layer between two ‘n’ layers.
 Doping of each layer is different and that is what
is responsible for the operation(amplification).

Modes of Operation
Active:
Most important mode of operation
Central to amplifier operation
Emitter –Base junction Forward biased
and Collector –base Reverse Biased
Saturation: Barrier potential of the junctions cancel
each other out causing a virtual short
Ideal transistor behaves like an closed
switch
Both junction are Forward biased
Cutoff:
Current reduced to zero
Ideal transistor behaves like an open
switch
Both junction are Reverse biased
Three Types of BJT Configurations
Biasing the transistor refers to applying
voltage to get the transistor to achieve
certain operating conditions.
Common-Base Biasing (CB)
input = VEB & IE
output = VCB & IC
Common-Emitter Biasing (CE)
input
= VBE & IB
output = VCE & IC
Common-Collector Biasing (CC)
input
= VBC & IB
output = VEC & IE

Common-Base input characteristics
Input characteristics for the CB configuration gives
relation between the input quantities, input voltage VEB
and input current IE for fixed VCB values
The input circuit in CB configuration involves the
emitter-base diode, which is forward biased in active
region. Therefore, the relationship between VEB and IE
is nothing but the forward characteristics of a diode
Common-Base input characteristics
In the above characteristics, VCB = Open represents
the characteristics of the forward biased emitter
With increase of VCB, the curves shift downwards i.e.,
we get the same IE with less VEB. This is because, from
the early effect increases the IE increases with VEB held
constant
Common-Base out put characteristics
Although the Common-Base configuration is not the most common
biasing type, it is often helpful in the understanding of how the
BJT works.

Common Emitter Input Characteristics
The input quantities for C.E. configuration are base
current IB and base emitter voltage VBE
The input characteristics curves are in between IB and
VBE for various values of collector to emitter voltage VCE
If VCE = 0 and if the base-emitter junction is forward
biased, the input characteristics is the same as the
characteristics of forward biased diode
If VCE is increased then VCB increases
By applying KVL around the transistor
 VBE - VCE +VCB =0
 VCE=VCB +VBE
If VCE is increased then VCB increases
Common Emitter Input Characteristics
Increase in VCB leads to decrease in effective base
width WB| due to early effect, resulting in decrease
of recombination and consequently, decrease in
base current due to recombination.
VCE  VCB   IB 
 The curves move right side as VCE increases
Common Emitter output Characteristics
The output quantities in C.E. configuration are IC and
VCE the o/p characteristics gives a relationship between
IC and VCE with base current IB as a parameter.
This family of curves may be divided into three regions
those are active region, saturation region and cutoff
region.
Common-Collector
It is often called an
emitter follower since its
output is taken from the
emitter resistor.
Is useful as an
impedance matching
device since its input
impedance is much
higher than its output
impedance.
It is also termed a
"buffer" for this reason
and is used in digital
circuits with basic gates.

Common collector input Characteristics
Input Characteristics
As VCB increases according to early effect base width
decreases and IB decreases.
Common collector output Characteristics
Output Characteristics:
The common-collector circuit is basically same as
the common-emitter, with the exception that the
load resistor is in the emitter circuit, the output
characteristics are similar to that of CE
configuration. It is because IE IC
