The bipolar junction transistor transistor basics 2 the ideal bipolar junction transistor because the current gain. Another type of transistor, called a field effect transistor fet, converts a change in input voltage into a change in output current and thus the gain of an fet is measured by its transconductance, defined as the ratio of change in output current to change.
The symbol of the transistor has an arrow on the emitter. In small, discrete quantities, transistors can be used to create simple electronic switches, digital logic, and signal amplifying circuits. If the arrow points in, points in the transistor is a pnp. For nmos transistors, if the input is a 1 the switch is on, otherwise it is off. Emitter, collector and base in its essence, a transistor consists of two diodes arranged back to back. In following circuit employing pass transistor logic, all nmos transistor are identical with a threshold voltage of 1v.
