How does the BJT work?

How does BJT Work? For an NPN transistor, it consists of a layer of P-doped semiconductor between two layers of N-doped material, where electrons are passed from the emitter to the collector instead. The emitter then “emits” electrons into the base, with the base controlling the no. of electrons the emitter emits.

How does MOSFET work?

It works by varying the width of a channel along which charge carriers flow (electrons or holes). The charge carriers enter the channel at source and exit via the drain. The width of the channel is controlled by the voltage on an electrode is called gate which is located between source and drain.

How BJT can be used as a switch?

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. Because a transistor’s collector current is proportionally limited by its base current, it can be used as a sort of current-controlled switch.

Why are MOSFETs used?

The MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) transistor is a semiconductor device which is widely used for switching and amplifying electronic signals in the electronic devices. The MOSFET works by varying the width of a channel along which charge carriers flow (holes and electrons).

Why is MOSFET better than BJT?

BJTs are much more suitable than MOSFETs for driving low-power LEDs and similar devices from MCUs. MOSFETs are better for high-power applications because they can switch faster than BJTs, enabling them to use smaller inductors in switch-mode supplies, which increases efficiency.

What are the advantages of BJT over MOSFET and why?

BJTs operate better in high load conditions&with higher frequencies as compared with MOSFETS

BJTs have higher fidelity&better gain in the linear areas as evaluated with the MOSFETs.

As compared with MOSFETS,BJTS are very faster because of the low capacitance on the control pin.

BJTs are a very good choice for voltage and low power applications

What is the difference between MOSFET and BJT?

The BJT is a bipolar junction transistor whereas MOSFET is a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor. BJT’s are used for low current applications, whereas MOSFET is used for high power applications. The BJT is a current controlled device and MOSFET is a voltage controlled device.

Which is better switch BJT or FET?

Therefore, the gain of the BJT amplifier is very high as compared to FET. Since the current flow is due to electrons as well as holes, the recovery time i.e. the time it takes to switch off and switch on is large as compared to FET. Therefore, the BJT has a low switching speed as compared to FET. BJT is not suitable for very high frequency.
