Transistor Theory

• Electronic Switching - What is the Point?

  Two reasons

  • Signals - to transmit information
  • Loads - to turn on and off power (to devises)

   

• Types of Electronic Switches
  • Relay

• Vacuum Tube Triode

• Semiconductor (types)

• Bi Polar Transistors - water analogy

• Bi Polar Advantages
  • Can be designed to control Large Currents
  • Small
• Bi Polar Disadvantages
  • current controlled
  • Heat given off
  • direct current only
  • bias resistor needed
