 Introduction

BJT (Bipolar Junction Transistor): a type of

transistor that uses both electron and hole charge
carriers to amplify or switch electronic signals and
electrical power.

Biasing: establishing predetermined voltages or

currents to a transistor for the purpose of proper
operating condition (active operation) so that it can
amplify AC signals.
Bias: Active Operating Region
Conditions of Active Region Operation

1. Base-Emitter junction must be forward-biased

(p-region voltage more positive) with a
resulting forward-voltage of about 0.7V.
2. Base-Collector junction must be reversed-
biased (n-region voltage more positive), with
the reverse-bias voltage being any value
within the maximum limits of the device.
