TRANSISTOR CIRCUIT CONFIGURATIONS

Depending on the polarities of bias voltage
connected to the transistor terminals following
are the types :
1. common base (CB)
2. Common emitter (CE)
3. Common collector (CC)

BJT (BIPOLAR JUNCTION TRANSISTOR)

A junction transistor is simply a
sandwich of one type of semiconductor
material between two layers of the other
type.

Types :
1) n-p-n
2) p-n-p

Sections in transistor:
I. Emitter
II. Base
III. Collector
1.Emitter : left section of transistor
supply majority charge carriers
Heavily doped (10^19 cm^-3)
2.Base :
Middle section of transistor
Lightly dopes (10^16 cm-3)
Very thin (10^-6 cm^-3)

3.Collector :
Right hand section of transistor
Main function is to collect majority
charge carriers
Moderately doped (from 10^14 to 10^19)
Largest among the three regions

Operation of PNP transistor :

holes of p-region repelled by VBE .

Potential

barrier at junction reduced.

Hence , holes cross junction penetrate Nregion thus constitute IE
11/5/2015

Base region width is thin ,hence less

recombination with holes of p-region
produces IB very small.
Remaining holes drift across the base enter
collector region and swept up by the negative
collector voltage VCC .This constitutes IC.

Operation of NPN transistor :

11/5/2015

11

 The n-side e-(emitter) are repelled

from VEE , hence IE constitute .
e- crosses p-type base region, A few ecombine with the holes in P-region and
rest are swept away by Vcc ,collector
voltage . Thus constitute Ic.
