Lecture-3 Transistors

This document provides an overview of transistors and bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) in 3 lectures. It defines a transistor as a 3-terminal semiconductor device made from materials like silicon and germanium. BJTs consist of 3 doped semiconductor regions (emitter, base, and collector) separated by 2 pn junctions. The document discusses biasing BJTs, the relationship between transistor currents, and applications like amplification and switching. It also covers BJT operation regions, DC analysis including alpha and beta values, voltage divider biasing, and establishing the quiescent or Q-point of the circuit.

What is a transistor?
• A transistor is a 3 terminal electronic device made of
semiconductor material.
• Transistors have many uses, including amplification, switching,
voltage regulation, and the modulation of signals
Bipolar Transistor
• A transistor is basically a Si or Ge crystal containing three
separate regions.
Architecture of BJTs
• The bipolar junction transistor (BJT) is constructed with three
doped semiconductor regions separated by two pn junctions
• Regions are called emitter, base and collector
Bipolar Transistor
• The depletion layers do not have the same width,
because different regions have different doping levels.
Biasing
• If both the junctions are forward biased free electrons enter
the emitter and collector of the transistor, joins at the base
and come out of the base.

• If both the junction are reverse biased then small currents


flows through both junctions only due to thermally produced
minority carriers and surface leakage.
Biasing
• When the emitter junction is forward biased and
collector junction is reverse biased then one expect large
emitter current and small collector current but collector
current is almost as large as emitter current.
Transistor Current

• The total current flowing into the transistor must be equal to the
total current flowing out of it.

𝐼 𝐸 =𝐼 𝐶 + 𝐼 𝐵
Transistor Applications
• Switching
• Amplification
• Variable Resistor
• Impedance Matching
• Voltage Regulation
Basic circuits of BJT
Operation of BJTs
• BJT will operates in one of following four
region
– Cutoff region (for digital circuit)
– Saturation region (for digital circuit)
– Linear (active) region (to be an amplifier)
– Breakdown region (always be a disaster)
Operation of BJTs
DC Analysis of BJTs
• Transistor Currents:
IE = IC + IB
• alpha (DC)
IC = DCIE
• beta (DC)
IC = DCIB
– DC typically has a value between 20 and 200
DC Analysis of BJTs
• DC voltages for the biased transistor:
• Collector voltage
VC = VCC - ICRC
• Base voltage
VB = VE + VBE

– for silicon transistors, VBE = 0.7 V


– for germanium transistors, VBE = 0.3 V
Q-point

• The base current, IB, is


established by the base
bias
• The point at which the
base current curve
intersects the dc load line
is the quiescent or Q-point
for the circuit
Q-point
DC Analysis of BJTs
• The voltage divider
biasing is widely used
• Input resistance is:
RIN  DCRE
• The base voltage is
approximately:
VB  VCCR2/(R1+R2)
