    Regions of operations in BJT, leakage current, Lecture-XVII.

    In our last two lectures (find’em here) we discussed in all detail the bipolar transistors and some of their characteristics in various configurations. There we briefly mentioned the BJT operate in various regions such as the active, cut-off and the saturation region. Today we will discuss that aspect a little more into our wit.

    Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJT), Lecture-XV and XVI.

    Today we will discuss another line of application of the pn semiconductor diodes: the so called bipolar junction transistors or BJT in short. There are two ways in which pn junction diodes can be joined together sharing a common P or N terminal. This produces 3 layer, 2 junction, 3 terminal devices. Such devices are…
