Power transistor can conduct large amount of currents through it, more than small signal transistor. power transistor has a vertical structure and small signal transistor has horizontal structure.In power transistor quasi saturation region is present which is absent in the small signal transistor. In power transistor there is a inculsion of drift layer which is not there in the small signal transistor. Power dissipation is less in power transistor and it is more in small signal transistor.

Why can a PNP transistor be used as a power amplifier if it is connected into a circuit in a manner such as that shown in the book Electricity and Electronics Figure 52?

A PNP transistor can be used as a power amplifier in a circuit because it can handle high power levels and provide amplification by controlling a large current with a small input signal. In Figure 52, the PNP transistor is configured in a common emitter configuration, allowing it to amplify the input signal by controlling the current flowing through the load connected to its collector terminal. The transistor acts as a switch that modulates the output current based on the input signal, providing amplification of power.

How do transistors amplify weak signal?

A transistor controls the flow of current between the emitter and collector. The larger current is supplied by the power supply, across the emitter and collector. The flow is then controlled by a small current applied to the base connection. So, a large current flow mimics the small signal current. Limits are reached, when the transistor gets close to being fully switched on or off. This will cause distortion. To avoid this, more amplification is provided by a series of transistor amplifiers, one after the other.

What is an emitter follower?

This is a particular transistor amplifier configuration. In general, the input signal is applied to the base, the collector is connected to a supply voltage, and the output is taken between the emitter and power supply common. One of the characteristics of the emitter follower is the output voltage "follows" the input, but the output is reduced by the Vbe voltage (the voltage drop between base and emitter, approximately 0.7 V for a silicon bipolar transistor).


What are transistors?

Transistors are semiconductor devices which can be used as switches (to turn on and off an electrical signal or current path) and also as a signal amplifier in a circuit. There are two broad types of transistors BJT (Bipolar Junction Transistor) and FET (Field Effect Transistors). - Neeraj Sharma A transistor is a silicon device with 3 leads, emiter, collector, and base. It is used both as a fast switching device and for signal amplification. It is said to be "saturated" when maximum current is flowing and "cutoff" when no current is flowing from the emiter to the collector. It takes a difference of approx. .7 volts between the emiter and base to turn it "on". Good switch but actually inferior in sound quality to its predicessor, the "Thermionic" or good ole vacuum tube. If you don't believe me, listen to a guitarist play through both a transistor and vacuum tube guitar amp. You will be quite amazed!!! For signal amplification the input signal goes into the base and the amplified output signal is taken at the collector with the transistor operating, or biased, between cutoff and saturation. It would be normally biased in between cutoff and saturation for the signal to be "linear" or non distorted. The signal at the collector will be inverted (180 phase shift) with respect to the input signal. There are other applications where the output is taken at the emiter where the signal is not inverted (in phase) with respect to the input signal. This configuration, generally, has no gain or has what is called "unity gain". Sometimes you see this when separate stages need to be impedance matched for maximum efficiency. The transistor is first "biased" or configured for a specific amount of gain and the output signal is taken at the collector with a higher amplitude than the input at the base. A transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify and switch electronic signals and electrical power . It is composed of semiconductor material with at least three terminals for connection to an external circuit. A voltage or current applied to one pair of the transistor's terminals changes the current through another pair of terminals. Because the controlled (output) power can be higher than the controlling (input) power, a transistor can amplify a signal. Today, some transistors are packaged individually, but many more are found embedded in integrated circuits . The transistor is the fundamental building block of modern electronic devices, and is ubiquitous in modern electronic systems. Following its development in 1947 by John Bardeen , Walter Brattain , and William Shockley, the transistor revolutionized the field of electronics, and paved the way for smaller and cheaper radios, calculators, and computers, among other things. The transistor is on the list of IEEE milestones in electronics, and the inventors were jointly awarded the 1956 Nobel Prize in Physics for their achievement.
