Types and uses of transistors

What are the types of transistors and what are they used for?



A transistor is basically a type of semiconductor device that is used to control electrical signals and control current flow. The basic purpose of a transistor is to electrically change an input signal through frequency and algebraic operations.



Transistors can be of three main types:

Bipolar Junction Transistor, BJT):  This is one of the most known and used transistors. There are two types of BJT - NPN (Negative-Positive-Negative) and PNP (Positive-Negative-Positive).  BJT controls the large current flow of electronic devices through electronic bypass.

Field Effect Transistor, FET:  FET has a high impedance and controls the flow of electricity through a small amount of water.  The FET controls the current through the electronic circuit and is used in frequency algebraic operations.  It can be of two types - JFET and MOSFET.



Junction Field Effect Transistor, JFET: JFET is an axially symmetric field effect transistor that controls electric current.  Although the JFET is mainly driven by a small number of electrons, it is higher in impedance than the balanced excitation driven bipolar transistor.

The use of transistors has many rules such as:

Motor Control: The current of the motor can be controlled using transistors.Transistors are used to control the power or speed of the motor.



Amplifier: Transistors are used to increase the flow and power of electrical signals.  It converts a small input signal into a large output signal and can amplify power in different parts.

And drug testing: Transistors are used in drug testing and manufacturing processes.  It is used to test various properties or parameters of drugs.

Signal Processing: Transistors are used in signal processing. In signal processing operations, transistors are used to operate logic gates, memory cells, overflow currents, etc.



Computer Processor: Transistors are the main components of a computer processor. It is used for logic gates, switching functions, allocator and memory access.

Power Amplifier: Transistors are used to modulate or map high power currents.  In power electronics, transistors work by increasing the value or flow of energy and are used as power amplifiers.

Transistors are used in many different applications.  Examples of some other works:


Computer memory circuits are operated by transistors. Transistors are used for various registers on memory chips, such as random access memory (RAM) and read-on-wire memory (ROM).

Computer Logic Gate: Computer logic gates are made using transistors. The gates like null-end, OR-end, NOR-gate, NOR-gate, NAND gate, NOR-NAND gate etc. are made up of transistors.



Power Supply:

Various power supplies are represented using transistors. Transistors are used in high power flow control applications such as capacitors, power supply units, inverters, etc.

Alarm System: Security systems and alarm systems are made using transistors. Alarm or security systems are operated using transistors or serial-parallel interfaces by processing electrical signals or signals from sensors.



Transistors are also used in many different applications, such as wind-driven bright or low-wake lighting, electric lights, televisions, communication systems, power stabilizers, non-destructive advanced designs, electronic cities, etc.

Through these, transistor technology is changing various aspects of our daily life.
