Application of BJT amplifier
- BJT used as amplifier in active region.
- BJT used as Switch in Cutoff region, Saturation region.
- Direct current (DC) signals can be produced by rectifying alternating current (AC) signals using BJTs.
- In order to increase the power of audio signals, BJTs are frequently utilized in audio amplifiers.
- BJTs can be used as current sensors in circuits where it’s critical to monitor and regulate the flow of current.
BJT Amplifier
Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs) have a long and diverse history of use in the electronics industry. They are used as a switching mechanism and for amplification in a wide range of applications. BJTs are highly sought after in power electronics because of their low turn on/off times, low voltage drop, high power, voltage, and current ratings, as well as their little leakage current when in blocking mode. In power electronics, they are mostly used for switching applications. The biasing conditions of the junctions dictate the three different modes of operation that bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) display: cut-off, active, and saturation.
A semiconductor device with three layers and three terminals that alternate between p-type and n-type layers is called a bipolar junction transistor (BJT). Three terminals in the BJT is the Collector, Base, Emitter. The arrangement of their layers distinguishes NPN and PNP, the two varieties of BJTs. The base of an NPN BJT is built of p-type material, whereas the emitter and collector are made of n-type material. On the other hand, the base of a PNP BJT is constructed of n-type material, while the emitter and collector are composed of p-type material. The collector-base junction (CBJ) and base-emitter junction (BEJ) are the two junctions found in a BJT.
