Their trigger voltage can be set by external resistors, making them "programmable". 2. The experiment objectives are to compare PUTs to SCRs, explain how to set the trigger voltage, demonstrate testing a PUT with a multimeter, and show the basic operation of a PUT circuit. 3. The procedures measure the resistance between terminals of a 2N6028 PUT with a multimeter and operate the PUT in a circuit, recording voltages and currents with two switches in different positions.

    TITLE: Programmable Unijunction Transistor (PUT)

    I. OBJECTIVE
    1. To compare the PUT structure to that of the SCR.
    2. To state how to set the PUT trigger voltage.
    3. To demonstrate a practical method of testing a PUT with a multimeter.
    4. To demonstrate the basic operation of a PUT through circuit testing.

    II. INTRODUCTORY INFORMATION

    Programmable unijunction transistors (PUT) are three-terminal thyristors that are


    triggered into conduction when the voltage at the anode exceeds the voltage at the gate.
    The PUT is similar to the UJT, but its intrinsic standoff ratio can be set by two external
    resistors. Hence, the name "programmable" is used. A PUT is a more advanced version
    of a unijunction transistor (UJT). In a programmable unijunction transistor, operating
    characteristics such as base-to-base resistance, intrinsic standoff voltage, valley current,
    and peak current can be programmed by setting the values of two external resistors.
    Applications for programmable unijunction transistors (PUT) include thyristor triggers,
    oscillators, pulse, and timing circuits, with frequencies up to 10 kHz. An integrated
    circuit can include not only an integrated circuit chip, but also a circuit transistor such as
    a programmable unijunction transistor.

    Performance specifications for programmable unijunction transistors (PUT)


    include peak current (with RG of 10K ohms and 1M ohms), valley current (with RG of
    10K ohms and 1M ohms), gate-to-cathode forward voltage, gate-to-cathode reverse
    voltage, gate-to-anode reverse voltage, anode-to-cathode voltage, peak non-repetitive
    forward current, peak repetitive forward current, peak repetitive forward current, DC
    forward anode current, DC gate current, power dissipation, storage temperature,
    operating junction temperature. Programmable unijunction transistors (PUT) can be
    packaged individually or in standard packaging for high-volume requirements, such as
    automatic insertion equipment.

    to the cathode. Set the multimeter to midrange scale and record the meter reading for
    RAK.
    2. Connect the negative lead of the multimeter to the gate of the PUT. Record the meter
    reading for RAG.
