Title: Study of BJT Characteristics
Aim and Objective of the Experiment: Study of BJT Characteristics
1. Study CB, CE, and CC Characteristics of NPN transistor
2. Study CB,CE and CC Characteristics of PNP transistor
COs to be achieved:
CO2: Analyze the transistor circuits for DC operation.
Theory:
Transistors are three terminal active devices made from different semiconductor materials that can
act as either an insulator or a conductor by the application of a small signal voltage. The transistor’s
ability to change between these two states enables it to have two basic functions: “switching” (digital
electronics) or “amplification” (analogue electronics). Then bipolar transistors have the ability to
operate within three different regions:
Active Region – the transistor operates as an amplifier and Ic = β*Ib
Saturation – the transistor is “Fully-ON” operating as a switch and Ic = I(saturation)
Cut-off – the transistor is “Fully-OFF” operating as a switch and Ic = 0
