Subject : Electronics Engineering
Draw the PNP transistor circuit in CB configuration. Sketch the output characteristics. Indicate active, saturation and cut off regions. Briefly explain the nature of these curves.
Justify, three terminal devices are far more useful than two terminal ones. Describe in detail how the BJT is still the preferred device in very demanding analog circuit applications, both integrated and discrete, also describe in detail current flow in terms of electrons and holes to a study of the transistor terminal characteristics.
