How a BJT can be used as an amplifier?
A transistor acts as an amplifier by raising the strength of a weak signal. The DC bias voltage applied to the emitter base junction, makes it remain in forward biased condition. Thus a small input voltage results in a large output voltage, which shows that the transistor works as an amplifier.
What is the difference between mosfet and power mosfet?
Power MOSFET is a type of MOSFET which is specially meant to handle high levels of power. These exhibit high switching speed and can work much better in comparison with other normal MOSFETs in the case of low voltage levels. However its operating principle is similar to that of any other general MOSFET.
What is power MOSFET and explain it?
A power MOSFET is a specific type of metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) designed to handle significant power levels. The design of power MOSFETs was made possible by the evolution of MOSFET and CMOS technology, used for manufacturing integrated circuits since the 1960s.

What are the characteristics of power BJT?
Power BJT : Application, Construction, and I-V characteristics 1 Application of Power BJT: 2 Construction of Power BJT: The power BJT has three terminals Collector (C), Emitter (E) and Base (B). It has a vertically oriented four-layers structure. 3 Symbol: 4 I-V characteristic: The I-V characteristic of Power BJT divides into four regions.
What is power bipolar junction transistor (BJT)?
The power bipolar junction transistor (BJT) blocks a high voltage in the off state and high current carrying capacity in the on-state. The power handling capacity is very high.
Why do we use BJT for high frequency applications?
When the BJT operates at high frequency, it is operated in this region. Both junctions are forward bias. The device offers low resistance compared to the active region. So, power loss is less. In this region, the device does not go into deep saturation. So, it can turn off quickly. Therefore, we can use for higher frequency applications.
How does power BJT push into the hard saturation region?
The Power BJT push into the hard-saturation region from the quasi-saturation region by increasing the base current. This region is also known as deep saturation region. The resistance offers in this region is minimum. It is even less than the quasi-saturation region. So, when the BJT operates in this region, power dissipation is minimum.
