BIPOLAR JUNCTION TRANSISTORS
Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs) are semiconductor devices with three layers: emitter, base, and collector. They function by controlling current flow through two p-n junctions. BJTs operate in two modes: NPN and PNP, defined by their doping types. They amplify current, making them essential in switching and amplification applications. Understanding BJTs is crucial for designing and analyzing circuits in amplifiers, oscillators, and other electronic devices.
