semiconductor regions separated by two pn
junctions
 Three regions are called emitter, base, and
collector.

BJT Operation
 BJT to operate properly as an amplifier, the two
pn junctions must be correctly biased with
external dc voltages.

Transistor Currents
 The directions of the currents in an npn transistor and its
schematic symbol.
 These diagrams show that the emitter current (IE) is the
sum of the collector current (IC) and the base current
(IB)

BJT parameters and characteristics
 The dc current gain of a transistor is the ratio of the dc
collector current (IC) to the dc base current (IB) and is
designated dc βDC.
 The ratio of the dc collector current (IC) to the dc emitter
current (IE) is the dc alpha αDC

Collector Characteristic Curves
BJT Characteristics
The collector characteristic curves show the relationship
of the three transistor currents.
IC
The curve shown is for a fixed
based current. The first region is
the saturation region.
As VCE is increased, IC increases
until B. Then it flattens in region
between points B and C, which
is the active region.
After C, is the breakdown
region.

Collector Characteristic Curves
Cutoff
In a BJT, cutoff is the condition in which there is no base
current, which results in only an extremely small leakage
current (ICEO) in the collector circuit. For practical work, this
current is assumed to be zero.
RC
In cutoff, neither the base-emitter
junction, nor the base-collector
junction are forward-biased.

Collector Characteristic Curves
Saturation
In a BJT, saturation is the condition in which there is
maximum collector current. The saturation current is
determined by the external circuit (VCC and RC in this case)
because the collector-emitter voltage is minimum (≈ 0.2 V)
–
In saturation, an increase of base
current has no effect on the
collector circuit and the relation
IC = bDCIB is no longer valid.

BJT as a voltage amplifier
 Amplification is the process of linearly increasing
the amplitude of an electrical signal.
 a BJT exhibits current gain (called b). When a
BJT is biased in the active (or linear) region, the
BE junction has a low resistance due to forward
bias and the BC junction has a high resistance
due to reverse bias.

BJT as a voltage amplifier
DC and AC Quantities
The text uses capital letters for both AC and DC currents and voltages
with rms values assumed unless stated otherwise.
DC Quantities use upper case roman subscripts. Example: VCE.
(The second letter in the subscript indicates the reference point.)
AC Quantities and time varying signals use lower case italic
subscripts. Example: Vce.
Internal transistor resistances are indicated as lower case
quantities with a prime and an appropriate subscript. Example: re’.
External resistances are indicated as capital R with either a
capital or lower case subscript depending on if it is a DC or ac
resistance. Examples: RC and Rc.

Voltage Amplification
 A transistor amplifies current because the
collector current is equal to the base current
multiplied by the current gain, β.
 The base current in a transistor is very small
compared to the collector and emitter currents.
 The collector current is approximately equal to
the emitter current.

Voltage Amplification
A BJT amplifies AC signals by converting some of the DC power from
the power supplies to AC signal power. An ac signal at the input is
superimposed in the dc bias by the capacitive coupling. The output ac
signal is inverted and rides on a dc level of VCE.

BJT Switch
A BJT can be used as a switching device in logic circuits to turn on or
off current to a load. As a switch, the transistor is normally in either
cutoff (load is OFF) or saturation (load is ON).
