What to Focus On

  • A junction transistor has two p-n junctions.
  • It is a three-element bipolar semiconductor device.
  • Emitter supplies majority carriers.

  • p-n-p has an n-type base between two p-type regions.
  • n-p-n has a p-type base between two n-type regions.
  • Arrow towards base means p-n-p.

  • Three configurations are common-base, common-emitter, and common-collector.
  • Common means the same electrode is shared by input and output.
  • The common-emitter circuit is important for amplification.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A transistor has one p-n junction like a diode.

In a p-n-p transistor, the arrow points away from the base.

Holes are the charge carriers in the external circuit of a p-n-p transistor.
