Found 3 Articles for BJT

BJTs are three-terminal semiconductor devices used for switching and amplification of signals. MOSFETs, on the other hand, are four-terminal semiconductor devices used for switching applications. Read through this article to find out more about BJTs and MOSFETs and how they differ from each other.What is BJT?BJT stands for Bipolar Junction Transistor. It is a type of transistor in which the current flow is due to two types of charge carriers viz. electrons and holes. A BJT consists of three alternating layers of P-type and N-type semiconductor materials and two P-N junctions. The BJT has three terminals viz. emitter (E), base ... Read More

Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) and Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) are two types of transistors that are used in electronic circuits to control the currents. Read through this article to get an overview of how BJTs and IGBTs function and the major differences between them.What is BJT?BJT stands for Bipolar Junction Transistor. The BJT is a three layer, three terminal semiconductor device which is used in the electronic circuit for switching and amplification of signalsA BJT is formed by sandwiching either a P-type or N-type material between two layers of N-type material or P-type material respectively. Thus, based on the ... Read More

Both BJTs and FETs are transistors widely used in different types of electronic applications. Go through this article to find out the important features of BJTs and FETs and how they differ from each other in the way they function.What is BJT?BJT stands for Bipolar Junction Transistor. The BJT is the type of transistor in which the current flow is due to two types of charge carriers viz. electrons and holes. A BJT consists of three alternating layers of P-type and N-type semiconductor materials and two P-N junctions.When P-type semiconductor material is sandwiched between two N-type layers, the bipolar junction ...
