Best Answer

Basically each and every amplifier circuit is made up of coupling or use of transistors.

The amplifier amplifies the signals because transistor makes either voltage or current to rise as a result of either of it's regions of operation i.e. open circuit(cut off region) or short circuit (saturation region)

Both the operation regions are not required continuously. Hecne the transistor works in either saturation or cut off regions only when emitter-base junction is forward biased, which can be applied as per requirement.

APPLICATIONS OF TRANSISTOR AND HENCE AMPLIFIERS ARE :

OSCILLATORS, LOUD-SPEAKERS, POWER AMPLIFIERS, VOLTAGE AMPLIFIERS, CURRENT AMPLIFIERS, ANALOG TO DIGITAL CONVERTER, DIGITAL TO ANALOG CONVERTERS

What is meant by transistor AD162?

An AS162 transistor is a type of PNP transistor commonly made of germanium. This is an older kind of transistor that was often found in power amplification circuits.


BC in integrated circuits stands for what?

BC stands for silicon transistor


Why NPN transistor are preffered?

You need a positive input to operate the transistor and since most circuits are negatively grounded when the transistor is not in use it has a negative input current thus using less power most of the time.


What is the application of TTL in integrated circuits?

Transistor transistor logic is one type of many different types of bipolar transistor based digital logic circuitry. It is very efficiently implemented in integrated circuit chips, needs only one power supply voltage, and operates at reasonably high speeds. Transistor transistor logic was first developed in the middle 1960s as a modification of the diode transistor logic, then in use in some digital logic integrated circuit chips but dating back to the earliest discrete bipolar transistor logic developed in the late 1950s and derived from vacuum tube point contact diode logic used in many early first generation computers. Transistor transistor logic integrated circuits dominated the computer and electronic digital controller market from the late 1960s until the middle 1980s, when metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor based microprocessors and microcontrollers began to replace it. By the early 1990s transistor transistor logic and other bipolar transistor based digital logic integrated circuits had been replaced with equivalent complementary metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor integrated circuits that were both faster and consumed less power (thus running much cooler) or with programmable logic devices of various types. In general transistor transistor logic is now considered obsolete.
