I.INTRODUCTION
The bipolar junction transistor, or BJT, was the most commonly used
transistor in the 1960s and 70s. Even after MOSFETs became widely available,
the BJT remained the transistor of choice for many analog circuits such as simple
amplifiers because of their greater linearity and ease of manufacture. Desirable
properties of MOSFETs, such as their utility in low-power devices, usually in the
CMOS configuration, allowed them to capture nearly all market share for digital
circuits; more recently MOSFETs have captured most analog and power
applications as well, including modern clocked analog circuits, voltage regulators,
amplifiers, power transmitters, motor drivers, etc.
The essential usefulness of a transistor comes from its ability to use a small
signal applied between one pair of its terminals to control a much larger signal at
another pair of terminals. This property is called gain. A transistor can control its
output in proportion to the input signal, that is, can act as an amplifier. Or, the
transistor can be used to turn current on or off in a circuit as an electrically
controlled switch, where the amount of current is determined by other circuit
elements.
The two types of transistors have slight differences in how they are used in a
circuit. A bipolar transistor has terminals labeled base, collector, and emitter. A
small current at the base terminal (that is, flowing from the base to the emitter)
can control or switch a much larger current between the collector and emitter
terminals. For a field-effect transistor, the terminals are labeled gate, source, and
drain, and a voltage at the gate can control a current between source and drain.
Charge will flow between emitter and collector terminals depending on the
current in the base. Since internally the base and emitter connections behave like
a semiconductor diode, a voltage drop develops between base and emitter while
the base current exists. The amount of this voltage depends on the material the
transistor is made from, and is referred to as VBE.
III. DEFINITION OF TERM
• Semiconductor Device- electronic components that exploit the electronic
properties of semiconductor materials, principally silicon, germanium, and
gallium arsenide. Semiconductor devices have replaced thermionic
devices (vacuum tubes) in most applications.
• Field Effect Transistor- relies on an electric field to control the shape and
hence the conductivity of a channel of one type of charge carrier in a
semiconductor material.
• Germanium- is a chemical element with the symbol Ge and atomic
number 32. It is a lustrous, hard, grayish-white metalloid in the carbon
group, chemically similar to its group neighbors tin and silicon.
• Analog Circuits- is one that uses continuous time voltages and currents.
This is opposed to digital devices where devices states are presented by
discrete time and discrete values (almost always binary, although three or
four state non-volatile memory devices where proposed).
• Power Supply- is a reference to a source of electrical power. A device or
system that supplies electrical or other types of energy to an output load
or group of loads is called a power supply unit or PSU. The term is most
commonly applied to electrical energy supplies, less often to mechanical
ones, and rarely to others.
• Logic Gates- performs a logical operation on one or more logic inputs and
produces a single logic output.
The largest computers based on vacuum tubes had racks and racks of
tubes filling large rooms.
