N-p-n transistor is made by sandwiching thin layer of p-type semiconductor between two layers of n-type semiconductor. It has three terminals, Emitter, Base and collector. The npn transistor has two supplies, one is connected through the emitter base and one through the collector base. The supply is connected such that emitter-base are forward biased and collector base are reverse biased. It means , Base has to be more positive than the emitter and in turn, the collector must be more positive than the base. The current flow in this type of transistor is carried through movement of electrons. Emitter emits electrons which are pulled my the base as it is more positive. these end up in the collector as it is yet more positive. In this way, current flows in the transistor. Transistor can be used as an amplifier, a switch etc.

How do you convert npn signal to pnp signal?

To convert an NPN signal to a PNP signal, you can use an inverter circuit, typically implemented with a transistor or a logic gate. For a simple transistor-based solution, connect the NPN transistor's collector to the power supply, its emitter to the load, and the base to the NPN signal through a resistor. When the NPN is on (high signal), it will turn off the PNP transistor, resulting in a low output, and vice versa, effectively inverting the signal.


What is the difference between upstream and downstream in electrical network?

Generally upstream is closer to the positive (+) voltage source. In the case of an NPN transistor upstream of the transistor is the part of the circuit from (+) to the NPN collector pin. Downstream of the transistor is from the NPN emitter pin to the ground / sink / negative (-) terminal.

How do you know if a transistor is a PNP or an NPN?

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.
