What is difference between transistor and BJT?

Open in App

Solution

Transistor BJT
A transistor is a semiconducting device that acts as a switch or amplifier in an electrical circuit. BJT refers to bipolar junction transistor
Transistor refers to transfer of resistance. Current flows from a low impedance area to a high impedance area BJT used as a amplifier and a switch in e electrical circuit.
Transistor is a semiconducting device BJT is a type of transistor.
An transistor uses only one type of charge carrier. Either electrons or holes. BJT uses both the charge carriers. Both the electrons and the holes
Switches are another function of transistors. One component of a transistor can be powered by a modest electric current, and the other component can be powered by a considerably higher current. This is how all computer chips function. An example of a device with several transistors that may each be turned on or off independently is a memory chip. Based on the doping types of the three primary terminals, BJTs can be divided into two categories: NPN and PNP. The two semiconductor junctions that make up an NPN transistor have a thin p-doped anode region, and the two semiconductor junctions that make up a PNP transistor have a thin n-doped cathode region. BJTs are utilised as demodulators or as detectors.
BJT is used in wave shaping circuits called clipping circuits.
BJT is used in switching and logic circuits.
