The basic construction of Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) comprises of two P-N junctions producing three connecting terminals with each terminal being given a name to identify it from the other two.

The circuit in Figure 1 sinks a constant current (ICE3) through Q3’s collector and emitter. This design is balanced so changes in Q3’s base-emitter voltage (VBE) don’t affect the current sink’s ...

Immediately, I learned that the common base configuration gain was 6db lower than the common emitter. This blew my mind. Then I started checking input resistance and was shocked at how low it measured ...

This issue arose in the present study, as seen from the current–voltage characteristics of the BC and base–emitter (BE) junctions at 300 K (Fig. 1b). Rectifying behaviour indicates Schottky diodes are ...

Two of the most often used amplifier building blocks in audio amplifier design are the common emitter amplifier with emitter degeneration and the emitter follower using the same circuit biasing. The ...
