How do you find the operating region of a BJT?
Either forward or reverse biasing is done to the emitter and collector junctions of the transistor….Transistor biasing.
| EMITTER JUNCTION | COLLECTOR JUNCTION | REGION OF OPERATION |
|---|---|---|
| Forward biased | Reverse biased | Active region |
| Reverse biased | Forward biased | Inverse active region |
| Reverse biased | Reverse biased | Cutoff region |
What are the operating regions of BJT?
A bipolar junction transistor (BJT) has three operating regions:
- Cut off ( for NPN BJT)
- Active region ( for NPN)
- Saturated ( for NPN)
In which region’s must the BJT be operated in to use it as a switch?
saturation
The transistor will operate as an amplifier or other linear circuit if the transistor is biased into the linear region. The transistor can be used as a switch if biased in the saturation and cut-off regions. This allows current to flow (or not) in other parts of a circuit.
When a BJT is operating in the cut off and saturation regions it functions as?
When the transistor is either in saturation or cutoff modes, it dissipates little power. When in cutoff, there is no current flow between collector and emitter thus P = Vce ∗ Ic = 0. When in saturation, the current may be high, but Vce is very small, keeping the power dissipated by the transistor very low.

When a BJT is operating in the cut-off and saturation regions it functions as?
Which operating region is required for amplifier operation?
DC operating point is needed so that we can apply the signal at that point to get the amplified signal.
How do you know if BJT is cut off?
Whenever we observe the terminals of a BJT and see that the emitter-base junction is not at least 0.6-0.7 volts, the transistor is in the cutoff region. In cutoff, the transistor appears as an open circuit between the collector and emitter terminals.
How do you take saturation and cutoff regions in a transistor operation?
When load line intersect IB = 0, it is known as cut off region of the transistor. As the base current is zero, only small collector leakage current flows. The base emitter junction does not remain in the forward biased because the base current is zero….Cut off, Active & Saturation Region of Transistor.
| Region | Base – emitter diode | Emitter – collector diode |
|---|---|---|
| Active | ON | OFF |
When a BJT is used as a switch the modes of operations is?
Explanation: A BJT operates as an amplifiers in active mode and as a switch in cut-off or saturation mode. Explanation: A BJT operates as an amplifiers in active mode and as a switch in cut-off or saturation mode.
Why BJT is to operated in active region to be used as an amplifier?
Transistors are fully-off in cut-off region while fully-on when operating in saturation region. However, while they operate in active region, they act as amplifiers i.e. they can be used to increase the strength of the input signal without altering it significantly.
What is the normal operation of BJT in saturation region?
The normal operation of BJT occurs in this region. In saturation region, both of the junctions of the BJT are in forward bias. This region is used for the ON-state of a switch where; Isat is the saturation current & it is the maximum amount of current flowing between emitter and collector when BJT is in saturation region.
Can a BJT be used as an open switch?
When the BJT is operating in the cutoff region, then it could be used like an open switch while if it is operating in the saturation region, the BJT could be used as a closed switch. The BJT can be also used as an amplifier if you properly bias it to operate in the active or linear region.
What is BJT (BJT)?
The BJT is a three terminal device and it comes in two different types. The npn BJT and the pnp BJT. The BJT symbols and their corresponding block diagrams are shown on Figure 1. The BJT is fabricated with three separately doped regions. The npn device has one p region between two n regions and the pnp device has one n region between two p regions.
What is the difference between a BJT and a PNP?
The BJT is fabricated with three separately doped regions. The npn device has. one p region between two n regions and the pnp device has one n region between two p. regions. The BJT has two junctions (boundaries between the n and the p regions).
