WHAT IS BASE-EMITTER JUNCTION?
It is a forward biased

Diode junctions are known as PN

junctions- they allow the flow of
current in one direction not in another

 PN JUNCTIONS (DIODE JUNCTION)

Diode
junctions
allow the flow Has a 2 Anode and
of current in terminals or Cathode
one direction distinct
and not in
another

IN FIGURE 4.7

Analyzing Eq’n (7) gives the y-intercept

of the straight load line as Vcc/Rc and the
x-intercept as Vcc. The solution of Eq’n
(7) is given by the intersection of the load
line with the transistor characteristic curve.
But which characteristic curve should we
use? This depends on the value of the base
current, and thus on the solution to the
control circuit part of the problem
(Eggleston, 2011).

When V1 is zero, our graphical analysis of Figure 4.6 gives Ib = 0. Then
Figure 4.7 gives a solution Ic = 0 and Vce = Vcc
When V1 is positive, on the other hand, some base current will flow. If we
choose V1 and Rb so as to give Ib large enough, then the solution will lie
on the left edge of Figure 4.7, i.e., the transistor will be saturated. The
current Ic is now large and Vce is small. Our circuit thus gives us on-off
control of the current through Rc by switching the control voltage V1 . In
addition, if we take the collector voltage as an output, we have a voltage
inverter: a low input gives a high output, and vice versa. This is often
useful in digital circuits (Eggleston, 2011)
