NPN and PNP are transistor types. The difference in the way the layers of semiconductor material are doped with impurities.
There is no difference they perform the same functions.
diff. between npn and pnp transristor
NPN and PNP transistors function in essentially the same way. The power supply polarities are simply reversed for each type. The only major difference between the two types is that the NPN transistor has a higher frequency response than the PNP-because electron flow is faster than hole flow. Therefore high frequency applications will utilize NPN transistors.
pnp answer
npn is preferred to pnp since n-doping can be pushed to higher values without damaging silicon lattice. due to this fact, doped regions can be less resistive. difference between npn and pnp is becoming smaller and smaller, tho.
pnp and npn transistor
Mainly there are two types of transistors. They are BJT (Bipolar Junction Transistors) and FET(Field Effect Transisters). In BJT, there are two types called PNP and NPN. Actually NPN means a BJT transister.
BT169 is neither an NPN nor a PNP transistor. BT169 is a thyristor, otherwise known as a silicon controlled rectifier.
NPN, PNP only classified to BJT, while FET classified as P-channel , N-channel
pnp
Switching is faster in NPN transistor than PNP. Because movement of electrons is faster than holes.
