The minimum signal that can be applied to a transistor is limited by the internal noise generated by the transistor. Since the transistor does not require cathode heating (one of the major noise sources in the vacuum tubes), it is inherently capable of operating at lower noise levels than its vacuum tube brother. At present, the junction transistor is equal to the vacuum tube, insofar as its noise characteristics are concerned. The noise level of the point-contact types is between 15 and 30 db higher.

see the website, there is a lot more. do more research for certainty.

Why protection required against noise required in ttl?

Protection against noise in TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) circuits is essential because noise can lead to false triggering of logic levels, causing erroneous outputs and unreliable performance. TTL circuits operate with specific voltage thresholds, and any voltage fluctuations due to noise can disrupt signal integrity. Implementing noise protection, such as proper grounding, decoupling capacitors, and shielding, helps maintain stable operation and ensures accurate data processing in digital systems.

Is active is a cutoff region of transistor?

The active region of a transistor is when the transistor has sufficient base current to turn the transistor on and for a larger current to flow from emitter to collector. This is the region where the transistor is on and fully operating.

Different between power transistor and transistor that used in small signal?

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. b.v.polytechnic,vasai pushkar vaity.
