diff. between npn and pnp transristor
pnp answer
pnp and npn transistor
NPN and PNP are transistor types. The difference in the way the layers of semiconductor material are doped with impurities.
NPN, PNP only classified to BJT, while FET classified as P-channel , N-channel
BT169 is neither an NPN nor a PNP transistor. BT169 is a thyristor, otherwise known as a silicon controlled rectifier.
pnp
Switching is faster in NPN transistor than PNP. Because movement of electrons is faster than holes.
PNP is sourcing. NPN is sinking. You generally connect NPN to ground and your PLC(or any load)input. With PNP you connect to V+ and to your PLC. Your PLC (load) should have the same ground or V+. Sourcing (PNP) provides a path to +24DC generally. Sinking (NPN) provides a path to 0V DC.
no
To save a decoupling capacitor & biasing resistors for the PNP.
no, the emitter base junction should be foward for both npn and pnp to act as amplifiers.
To know if a transistor is PNP or an NPN,the following should be verified:For a PNP transistor, the base-collector junction is forward biased while the base-emitter junction is reversed biased.For an NPN transistor, the base-emitter junction is forward biased while the base -collector junction is reversed biased.
