What is Thermal Runaway and Heat Sink? The maximum average power PC max which a transistor can dissipate depends upon the construction of the transistor and may lie in the…
How to use a Transistor as a Diode - Working and Equation: The transistor can be modified to operate as a diode by short circuiting the two transistor terminals, as…
Transistor Lead Identification and Testing: Transistor Lead Identification and Testing - After the transistor has been manufactured, as already discussed, leads of, typically, gold, aluminium, or nickel are then attached…
Transistor as an Amplifier - Circuit Diagram and Its Workings: The main utility of a transistor lies in its ability of amplifying weak signals. The weak signal is applied at…
Transistor Circuit Configurations (CB, CE, CC): As already mentioned, a Transistor Circuit Configurations is a three-terminal device (having three terminals namely emitter, base and collector) but we require four terminals—two…
Ebers Moll Model for PNP Transistor: Device modelling aims at relating physical device parameters to device terminal characteristics. Device modelling is especially important for integrated circuits, since simple and accurate…
Current Amplification Factor: There are two current amplification factors, the alpha factor (α) and the beta factor (β) defined below : The alpha factor (α) is also called the current…
Explain Transistor Current Components: The various transistor current components which flow across the forward-biased emitter junction and reverse biased collector junction are indicated in Fig. 10.11. The current flowing into…
