Operation/Theory
When being used as an amplifier, a transistor is being used in this region of operation.
Active
This current controlled device has terminals labeled Collector, Emitter and Base
BJT
The reading on a DMM when testing collector to emitter of a BJT while using the Diode check function if the device is working properly
OL
This is the main difference between E and DE MOSFETS construction
EMOSFET's do not have a physical channel where DEMOSFET's do.
This application of transistors involves taking small singles and converting them to larger signals
Sensor signal amplification
If an increase of base current does not result in an increase of Collector-emitter current the BJT is operating in this region
Saturation
This transistor family is controlled via an electric field
FETs
This transistor has the highest input impedance and capable switching frequency
MOSFET
A transistor in cutoff mode behaves like this electrical device
open switch
This application of a transistor is used to keep the Input/Output's of a PLC from physically interfacing with the CPU
Optocoupler
This transistor configuration provides high current, voltage and power gain
Common emitter.
This field effect transistor has no physical channel
E-MOSFETs
This Transistor can handle high current and at high frequencies with low losses
IGBT
This is the effect on circuit operation when a P channel E-MOSFET's gate has a negative voltage applied to it.
Current increases source-drain
This application of transistors implements an "H" bridge
Dc motor speed and direction control
E-MOSFETs with 0v applied to the gate are in this operating state
Off
This transistor is a combination of a MOSFET and a BJT
IGBT
This transistor type has the lowest input impedance
BJT
This is what a substrate is similar to.
A charge carrier storage tank
This application involves many transistors housed within a single IC used to process 1's and 0's
Logic gate IC
This is the effect on circuit operation when a N channel DE-MOSFET's gate has a negative voltage applied to it.
Current source-drain decreases
This transistor operates using electric fields but does not has an insulated gate
JFET
This Transistor operates on the revers biasing of a junction to pinch off current flow in the channel
JFET
DE-MOSFETs with 0v applied to the gate are in this operating state
ON
This application of transistors is found within VFD's
