BJT consists of two pn junctions constructed in a special way and connected in series, back to back. The transistor is a three-terminal device with emitter, base and collector terminals. From the physical structure, BJTs can be divided into two groups: npn and pnp transistors. Modes of operation The two junctions of BJT can be either forward or reverse-biased. The BJT can operate in different modes depending on the junction bias. The BJT operates in active mode for amplifier circuits. Switching applications utilize both the cutoff and saturation modes. NTUEE Electronics – L. H. Lu 4-2 Mode EBJ CBJ Cutoff Reverse Reverse Active Forward Reverse Saturation Forward Forward Operation of the npn transistor in the active mode Electrons in emitter regions are injected into base due to the forward bias at EBJ. Most of the injected electrons reach the edge of CBJ before being recombined if the base is narrow. Electrons at the edge of CBJ will be swept into collector due to the reverse bias at CBJ. Emitter injection efficiency ( ) = i En / ( i En + i Ep ) Base transport factor ( T ) = i Cn / i En Common-base current gain ( ) = i Cn / i E = T < 1 Terminal currents of BJT in active mode: i E (emitter current) = i En (electron injection from E to B) + i Ep (hole injection from B to E) i C (collector current) = i Cn (electron drift) + i CBO (CBJ reverse saturation current with emitter open) i B (base current) = i B1 (hole injection from B to E) + i B2 (recombination in base region) NTUEE Electronics – L.

The current transported from one junction to the other is presented by F (forward) and R (reverse). EM model can be used to describe the BJT in any of its possible modes of operation.

In real case, reverse current depends on v CB . I CEO (CBJ reverse current with base open-circuited) I CEO = I CBO /(1 F ) F is always smaller than unity such that I CEO > I CBO . CBJ current flows from (C to B) so CBJ is reverse-biased. EBJ current flows from (E to B) so EBJ is slightly forward - biased. EBJ current flows from (E to B) so EBJ is slightly forward biased.

Negative values of current or voltage mean in opposite polarity (direction). Summary of the BJT current-voltage relationships in the active mode The values of the terminal currents for a BJT in active mode solely depend on the junction voltage of EBJ. The ratios of the terminal currents for a BJT in active mode are constant. The current directions for npn and pnp transistors are opposite. NTUEE Electronics – L. H.
