UJT means Uni Junction transistor terminals are Emitter,Base1 and Base2.UJT is also called double base diode.UJT operates when the emitter is forward biased.voltage is applied between base1 and base2.If an external voltage is applied at terminal E,no current will flow in to the emitter as long as this applied voltage is less than emitter voltage.When this applied voltage exceeds emitter voltage,current will flow into the emitter and holes get injected from emitter to base1 and are repelled by base2.This results in increase in the region between the junction and the base 1.The increase in conductivity results drop in emitter voltage and increased forward bias of the junction.so emitter current also increases.Then it exhibits a negative resistance.

Characteristics of relaxation oscillator?

A "Relaxation Oscillator" is an "R/C" oscillator, in which a Capacitor is charged from a DC (Direct Current) fixed voltage source, through a resistor. Connected across this Capacitor is a "device" that, initially, does NOT conduct any current. But when the Voltage on the Capacitor reaches a certain value (depending upon the characteristics of the "device") the "device" will "break down" or "avalanche", or suddenly drastically decrease in resistance. This causes the "device" to quickly start to discharge the Capacitor. However, when the Voltage across the Capacitor and its parallel connected "device' decreases with the discharge cycle, the "device" will suddenly return to its "non-conducting" state, and the Capacitor again begins to re-charge. The Capacitor again reaches the "break down" voltage of the "device", and the process continues, thus effectively creating "oscillations". One version of this circuit uses a simple Neon lamp (such as a NE-1) as the "device". Typically, the "break down" or "ignition" voltage of a neon lamp is around 70 volts. At this point, the gas in the lamp "ionizes", becoming highly conductive. However, when this voltage drops (as the lamp discharges the Capacitor) to about 50-60 volts, the lamp "goes out" (the neon gas is no longer ionized or conducting), and the Capacitor again starts to charge through the resistor. This form of the "Relaxation Oscillator" will not operate at high frequencies (such as Radio Frequencies), and was often used to just generate a "flashing light" (the Neon lamp). With the advent of semiconductors, a device called the Unijunction Transistor (UJT) was developed. It contained three leads, the Emitter, Base 1, and Base 2. The junction of the Resistor and Capacitor is connected to the Emitter, with the "bottom" of the Capacitor (and the negative side of the Voltage Source) connected to Base 1 Base 2 is connected to the positive side of the Voltage Source. Again, when the voltage on the Capacitor reaches the "break down" level, the UJT's "resistance" between the Emitter and Base 1 drastically drops, discharging the capacitor. However, when the discharging current through the UJT drops below a certain level, it again develops a high resistance between its Base 1 and the Emitter, and re-charging of the Capacitor begins again. UJT circuits can operate at higher frequencies than the Neon bulb circuit. Often a resistor is inserted between Base1 and the common or negative side of the voltage source, and the resulting discharge current produced voltage across this resistor is used to trigger other devices. Also, the voltage waveform across the Capacitor approaches a linear "sawtooth" waveform (depending on circuit component values), but not nearly as linear as other approaches. "Devices" of this type are considered to have a "negative resistance" characteristic, which is another discussion in itself.

Difference between bjt and ujt?

UJT is the voltage controlled device.in which only one mejority carriers are responsible for current flowing. UJT is one junction transistor and it is three terminal emitter and two base. BJT is the current controlled device. in which both mejority and minority carrier are responsiblefor current flowing. this type of transistor consists of two junction and three terminal these are : emitter , base , collector.

Is a UJT a voltage controlled or current controlled device?

voltageCurrent between the two bases of the UJT sets up a voltage gradient in the semiconductor. When the voltage on the emitter of the UJT rises high enough to forward bias the emitter-base junction at the voltage of the interbase gradient where the emitter is located, the UJT "turns on".

What will happen if intrinsic standoff ratio of UJT is doubled?

If the intrinsic standoff ratio (η) of a Unijunction Transistor (UJT) is doubled, it will alter the operating characteristics of the device. Specifically, a higher η indicates a greater proportion of the total voltage across the device that can be used for triggering the UJT. This will result in a wider range of trigger voltages and may affect the stability and sensitivity of the device in applications such as oscillators or timing circuits. Overall, the performance and response characteristics of the UJT will change, potentially allowing for different operational behavior in electronic circuits.


What is the difference between fet and ujt?

The structure of a UJT is quite similar to that of an N-channel JFET. The main difference is that P-type (gate) material surrounds the N-type (channel) material in case of JFET and the gate surface of the JFET is much larger than emitter junction of UJT.


Why the arrow mark in emitter is base in ujt?

In a Unijunction Transistor (UJT), the arrow mark in the emitter symbol indicates the direction of conventional current flow when the device is forward-biased. The emitter (E) is the terminal where current flows out, and its arrow points toward the base region, which is the junction where the UJT operates. This configuration helps identify the emitter as the terminal that controls the device's operation, distinguishing it from the base and preventing confusion in circuit diagrams.
