Technical Documents

Transistors are the backbone of electronics. They can be used as amplifiers or switches. In this video we will talk about the first-ever functional transistor, the bipolar junction transistor or BJT. We discuss the two different types npn, pnp, their symbol, terminals, input characteristic, output characteristic, transfer characteristic, current gain, regions of operation (forward-active, saturation, cut-off, reverse-active) and Early voltage.
