Bipolar Junction Transistors 1
Sources & Required Reading ROBERT BOYLESTAD & LOUIS NASHELSKY, ELECTRONIC DEVICES AND CIRCUIT THEORY, 7thedition 2
Transistor Construction There are two types of transistors: pnp npn The terminals are labeled: E Emitter B - Base C - Collector 3
Transistor Operation The emitter-base junction is forward biased The base-collector junction is reverse biased 4
Transistor Currents Emitter current is the sum of the collector and base currents: The collector current is comprised of two currents: 5
