Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) Principle
A bipolar junction transistor (BJT) is a type of transistor that consists of two back-to-back PN junctions designed to achieve voltage, current, or signal gain.
There are two basic structures of bipolar transistors: PNP and NPN. In these three layers of semiconductor material, the middle layer is called the base (b), and the outer layers are called the emitter (e) and the collector (c). When a small current is injected into the base, a larger current flows between the emitter and the collector, which is the amplification effect of the transistor.
Three Operating States of a Transistor
Cut-Off State: This occurs when the base voltage of the transistor is too low to allow current to flow between the collector and the emitter.
Saturation State: This occurs when the base voltage is so high that the current between the collector and the emitter reaches its maximum, regardless of changes in the base current.
Active (Amplification) State: This is the state where the base voltage is between the cut-off and saturation levels, allowing the current between the collector and the emitter to vary with changes in the base current.
