A BJT common collector amplifier is a circuit in which the collector and the base of the BJT share a common input supply, hence the name common collector. In our […]
What is beta (β) in BJTs
In bipolar junction transistors the factor that determines the sensitivity level of the device to base current, and the amplification level at its collector is called beta or the hFE. […]
Common Emitter Amplifier – Characteristics, Biasing, Solved Examples
This configuration is known as common-emitter configuration because here the emitter is used as the common negative terminal for the input base signal and the output load. In other words, […]
Understanding Common Base Configuration in BJTs
In this section we are going to analyze BJT common-base configuration, and learn regarding its driving point characteristics, reverse saturation current, base to emitter voltage and evaluate the parameters through […]
Bipolar Transistor (BJT) – Construction, and Operational Details
A bipolar transistor or a BJT is a 3 terminal semiconductor device which is able to amplify or switch small signal input voltages and currents to significantly larger output signal […]
Voltage-Divider Bias in BJT Circuits – More Stability without beta Factor
Biasing the terminals of a bipolar transistor using a calculated resistive divider network for ensuring an optimal performance and switching response is called voltage divider biasing. In the previous bias […]
