Different between power transistor and transistor that used in small signal?
Power transistor can conduct large amount of currents through it, more than small signal transistor. power transistor has a vertical structure and small signal transistor has horizontal structure.In power transistor quasi saturation region is present which is absent in the small signal transistor. In power transistor there is a inculsion of drift layer which is not there in the small signal transistor. Power dissipation is less in power transistor and it is more in small signal transistor. b.v.polytechnic,vasai pushkar vaity.
What is the minimum voltage required to turn on a pnp transistor?
If it's a germanium transistor, 0.3 volts. If it's the more common silicon transistor, slightly more than 0.6 volts.
Working of npn transistor?
N-p-n transistor is made by sandwiching thin layer of p-type semiconductor between two layers of n-type semiconductor. It has three terminals, Emitter, Base and collector. The npn transistor has two supplies, one is connected through the emitter base and one through the collector base. The supply is connected such that emitter-base are forward biased and collector base are reverse biased. It means , Base has to be more positive than the emitter and in turn, the collector must be more positive than the base. The current flow in this type of transistor is carried through movement of electrons. Emitter emits electrons which are pulled my the base as it is more positive. these end up in the collector as it is yet more positive. In this way, current flows in the transistor. Transistor can be used as an amplifier, a switch etc.
What is power transistor briefly?
One capable of being used at power rating of greater than about 10 watts, and generally requiring some means of cooling
How many diodes in a transistor?
There are two semiconductor junctions. Transistors are designated as NPN or PNP and a diode is an NP or PN junction depending on direction of current flow. However, the function of a transistor is different than two back to back diodes.
