Q33.

92 A driver circuit can operate in the linear region

a) True b) False

"33.18 Driver Circuits: A driver circuit is one used to operate some other device, like a light,
relay, solenoid, or motor. Usually the driver is a transistor switch that is used to turn the device
off or on."

Answer: b) False

Q33.92 The collector-emitter voltage in a saturated transistor driver when on is

a) VCC b) Ground c) <0.5 V d) IV to VCC

"33.6 Collector Curves - Regions of Operation: Third, there is the early rising part of the curve,
where VCE is between 0 V and a few tenths of a volt. This sloping part of the curve is called
the saturation region.

Answer: c) <0.5 V

P33.31 If the base supply voltage is 2 V in Fig. 33-63, what is the current through the LED?

According to example shown in 33.10 Emitter Bias:

Answer:

VE = VBB VBE = 2V 0.7V = 1.3V

IE = VE / RE = 1.3V / 100 = 13 mA

IC = IE = 13 mA
