A bipolar junction transistor (BJT) has three terminals connected to three regions of doped semiconductors. The NPN (negative-positive-negative) transistor has two diodes connected to each other.
A bipolar junction transistor (BJT) has three terminals connected to three regions of doped semiconductors. The NPN (negative-positive-negative) transistor has two diodes connected to each other. The diode on the left is called the base emitter diode and the diodes on the left are called the base collector diode.
