12 UNIJUNCTION TRANSISTOR
 The UJT is a three-terminal device having the basic construction shown below. A
slab of lightly doped (increased resistance characteristic) n -type silicon material
has two base contacts attached to both ends of one surface and an aluminum rod
alloyed to the opposite surface.
The relative simplicity of this equivalent circuit: two resistors
(one fixed, one variable) and a single diode. The resistance
RB1 is shown as a variable resistor since its magnitude will
vary with the current I E.

In fact, for a representative unijunction transistor, RB1 may

vary from 5k ohms down to 50 ohms for a corresponding
change of I E from 0 mA to 50 mA.

VE > hVBB + VD  UJT is turned “ON”

VE < hVBB + VD  UJT is “OFF”
VE > hVBB + VD  UJT is turn “ON”
VE < hVBB + VD  UJT is “OFF”
SCR Triggering
One rather common application of the UJT is in the triggering of other
devices such as the SCR (SCR Triggering).

- Is a non-linear electronic oscillator circuit that produces a non-sinusoidal repetitive output
signal, such as a triangle wave or square wave
