Transistor
Transistors can be used in communications, home appliances, security, consumer electronics and other scenarios, and are one of the core components of electronic circuits. A transistor's most basic and important feature is that it can amplify a weak electrical signal into a larger one.
A transistor is a miniature semiconductor that regulates or controls current or voltage flow in addition to amplifying and generating these electrical signals and acting as a switch or gate for them. Typically, transistors consist of three layers, or terminals, of a semiconductor material, each of which can carry a current. Transistors are crucial components of modern electronics. When working as an amplifier, a transistor transforms a small input current into a bigger output current. As a switch, it can be in one of two distinct states -- on or off -- to control the flow of electronic signals through an electrical circuit or electronic device.
Definition and Types: Transistors refer to all single components based on semiconductor materials, including diodes, transistors, field-effect transistors, thyristors, etc.
Among them, a transistor is a semiconductor device that controls current and has three terminals: emitter, base, and collector.
Function and Application: Transistors can be used for various digital and analog functions, and are the basic components for regulating the operation of modern electronic circuits such as computers and mobile phones.
They can be independently packaged or integrated into a very small area to form an integrated circuit.
Working principle: The working principle of a transistor is similar to that of an electronic switch, which turns on or off current by controlling the input voltage.
In some cases, transistors can also be partially turned on, which is useful for amplifier design.
How transistors revolutionized the tech world
Transistors were invented at Bell Laboratories in 1947. These solid-state devices rapidly replaced the bulky vacuum tube as an electronic signal regulator. The invention of the transistor fueled the trend to miniaturize electronics. They're now considered one of the most significant developments in the history of the PC.
Transistors are smaller, lighter and consume less power than vacuum tubes. As a result, electronic systems made with them are also smaller, lighter, faster and more efficient than ones made with vacuum tubes. Transistors are also stronger, require less power and, unlike vacuum tubes, don't require external heaters.
As the size of transistors decreased, their costs fell, creating more opportunities to use them. Integrating transistors with resistors and other diodes and electronics components makes ICs smaller. This miniaturization relates to Moore's Law, which states that the number of transistors in a small IC would double every two years.
How transistors work
A transistor operates as a switch or gate for electronic signals, opening and closing an electronic gate many times per second. It ensures the electronic circuit is on if the current is flowing and switched off if it isn't. Complex switching circuits that make up all modern networking and telecommunications systems rely on transistors. Circuits also offer high switching speeds, such as hundreds of gigahertz or more than 100 billion on-and-off cycles per second.
Transistors are combined to form a logic gate, which compares multiple input signals to provide a different output. Computers with logic gates can make simple decisions using Boolean algebra. These techniques are the foundation of modern-day computing and computer programs.
Transistors also play an important role in amplifying electronic signals. For example, in radio applications such as FM receivers, where the received electrical signal is weak due to disturbances, amplification provides audible output. Transistors increase signal strength to provide this amplification.
A transistor has only one circuit element. In small quantities, transistors are used to create simple electronic switches. They're the basic elements in integrated circuits (ICs), which consist of a large number of transistors interconnected with circuitry and baked into a single silicon microchip.
In large numbers, transistors are used to create microprocessors where millions of transistors are embedded into a single IC. They also drive computer memory chips and memory storage devices for MP3 players, smartphones, cameras and electronic games. Transistors are embedded in nearly all ICs, which are part of every electronic device.
Transistors are also used for low-frequency, high-power applications, such as power-supply inverters that convert alternating current into direct current. Additionally, high-frequency applications use transistors, such as the oscillator circuits that generate radio signals.
Transistor classification
Material Science
According to the semiconductor materials used in transistors, they can be divided into silicon material transistors and germanium material transistors. According to the polarity of transistors, they can be divided into germanium NPN transistors, germanium PNP transistors, Silicon NPN transistors and SILICON PNP transistors.
Workmanship
According to its structure and manufacturing process, transistors can be divided into diffusion transistors, alloy transistors and planar transistors.
Current capacity
According to the current capacity, transistors can be divided into low-power transistors, medium power transistors and high-power transistors.
Working frequency
According to the working frequency, transistors can be divided into low-frequency transistors, high-frequency transistors and ultra-high-frequency transistors.
Packaging structure:
According to the packaging structure, transistors can be divided into metal packaging (gold packaging) transistors, plastic packaging (plastic packaging) transistors, glass packaging (glass packaging) transistors, surface packaging (sheet) transistors and ceramic packaging transistors. Its package shapes are diverse.
As a variable current switch, the transistor can control the output current based on the input voltage. Different from ordinary mechanical switches (such as relay and switch), transistors use electrical signals to control their opening and closing, so the switching speed can be very fast, and the switching speed in the laboratory can reach more than 100GHz.
