BJT transistor as an Amplifier

To use BJT Transistor as an amplifier we need to make sure that the Q point is properly adjusted to do the amplification. To set the Q point we need to do the proper biasing to the transistor. When we talk about biasing a BJT Transistor, we normally mean to apply the external power supply […]

A basic introduction to the BJT Transistor

BJT stands for Bipolar Junction transistor. The BJT transistor is a three-layer and three-terminal semiconductor device. It is a three-terminal semiconductor device invented by  William Shockley in Bell Labs. The basic aim while inventing BJT was to replace the giant vacuum tubes, which were previously been widely used for amplification purposes. Due to the size […]
