For switching applications transistor is biased to operate in the saturation or cutoff region. Transistor in cutoff region will act as an open switching whereas in saturation will act as a closed switch.

What type of transistors can be used in an ECM to switch diesel engine electronic unit injectors?

ECMs use large scale integrated circuits that are usually embedded in epoxy. They do not contain discrete transistors and are generally not designed to be serviced.


Is transistor Low voltage?

Transistors can operate at low voltages, but the term "low voltage" is relative and depends on the specific application and type of transistor. For instance, many modern digital circuits use low-voltage transistors designed to operate effectively at voltages below 1.8 volts, while others may function at higher voltages. Overall, transistors are versatile components that can be designed for a range of voltage levels depending on their intended use.


What are power transistors?

What is smaller a tip of the human hair or a transistors?

A transistor is typically smaller than the tip of a human hair. Transistors are microelectronic devices used in electronic circuits and are designed to be very small, often in the nanometer range. The tip of a human hair is usually larger in comparison.

Why are npn transistors used more often than pnp transistors?

The primary reason that NPN transistors are used more often than PNP transistors is that they usually operate faster (at higher frequencies) because the mobility of the current carriers in NPN transistors (electrons) is much higher than that of the current carriers in PNP transistors (holes).
