Transistors
Three uses of the transistor are:
Amplifiers, oscillators, and switches
An oscillator turns _________ signal into _________ signal.
DC, AC
The three terminals of a transistor are the _____________, _____________, and the ______________.
Emitter, Base, Collector
The purpose of a(n) ___________ is to amplify signal and ____________ power gain.
amplifier, increase
A small _________ current controls a large collector current.
base
The ________________ is moderately doped and collects the current carriers from the base.
collector
A transistor is a semiconductor device used to control ___________ in a circuit.
current
The collector is the largest of the three transistor areas to _________________ the heat that is generated.
dissipate
A(n) _______________ is used with digital circuitry; on/off.
electronic switch
The ________________ is heavily doped and produces a large amount of current.
emitter
The base is very thin and ____________ doped; it allows most of the current to transfer from the emitter to the collector.
lightly
When a transistor is operating at saturation, the collector current is ________________.
maximum
Saturation acts like a _______________ between the emitter-collector; producing maximum current.
short
A transistor has ____ terminals and ____ PN Junctions.
three, two
The base biasing is set by the _______________.
voltage divider (R1 & R2)
