Lab 1 Ecd 190994

This document outlines an experiment demonstrating the operation of BJTs (Bipolar Junction Transistors) as switches, focusing on their cutoff and saturation states. It includes objectives, equipment needed, procedures for connecting circuits, and a data table for recording results. The conclusion emphasizes that transistors can function as switches by controlling current flow based on the voltage applied to their base terminal.

1: BJT as a switch

 Understand the importance of cutoff and satura- tion to the operation of a
transistor switch.
 Define the purpose of a transistor inverter.
 Identify the function of a transistor switch.
INTRODUCTION
 The computers of today do not process numbers in the base 10 (i.e., 0, 1, 2, 3, . . . , 9).
Computers instead use binary logic of base 2 (0 and 1) to perform their func- tions. One
fundamental circuit is the transistor switch, also known as an inverter. Here, a transistor
connected in a common-emitter fashion inverts a signal. That is, if a high-input signal is
applied, a low-output signal is created. If a low-input signal is applied, then a high-output
signal is created. The circuit of Fig. 27-2.1 is an example of a transistor inverter design.
 The circuit of Fig. 12.1 is also a transistor switch. In a transistor switch circuit, a
voltage level applied to the base terminal will control the potential at the collector. In
this fashion, the transistor can be used to turn on or off circuitry connected to the
collector. This common-emitter circuit is being switched from cutoff to saturation, as
shown in the load line of Fig. 12.2.
 In this experiment, a transistor will be connected to demonstrate this switching
ability.

CONCLUSION:

From this lab we conclude that transistor act as a switch. When we apply no
voltage on the base then Transistor act as a open switch and all the voltage
appears on the output and current is zero. And when we apply voltage on the base
then Transistor will short and act as close switch and current start flowing.
