2SB772 Working Principle
- The working principle of this transistor is simple and quite similar to NPN transistors. In both NPN and PNP transistors, the base pin is mainly responsible for the overall transistor action.
- And when a positive voltage is applied at the base terminal it gets biased and current flows due to the movement of holes.
When there is no current available at the base terminal, the transistor is turned ON and in that case, both collector and emitter pins are forward biased.
- And when there’s current present at the base terminal, the device is turned OFF and both emitter and collector terminals are reverse biased.
- Unlike other transistors, bipolar transistors are not symmetrical. Different doping concentrations of both emitter and collector sides are responsible for the lack of symmetry inside bipolar junction transistors.
- Moreover, if we exchange the collector and emitter terminals, the common-emitter gain and common-current values will be less than they are normally observed.
- The common-emitter current gain is called beta and is also known as the amplification factor. In this case, the amplification factor stretches from 30 to 300. This factor determines the amount of input current this transistor can amplify.
Introduction to 2SB772
- The 2sb772 is a medium power PNP bipolar junction transistor mainly employed for switching and amplification purpose.
- It comes with three main terminals called the emitter, collector, and base. All these terminals come with different functionality and different doping concentrations.
- The emitter side is highly doped in contrast to the other two terminals and the collector is lightly doped. The base terminal is 10-times highly doped compared to the collector terminal.
- 2sb772 is a semiconductor device made up of silicon material and it consists of three layers. Where one is an n-doped layer that stands between two p-doped layers.
- The n-layer signals the base terminal and indicates that negative voltage supply is required to bias the base terminal and start the overall transistor action.
- As this is a bipolar transistor, both electrons and holes play a vital role in the conductivity process.
- And holes are majority carriers while electrons are minority carriers in this case in contrast to NPN transistors where electrons are major carriers and holes are minority carriers.
- The bipolar transistors like this 2sb772 are the building blocks of modern electronics.
- In some cases, however, the vacuum tubes are preferred over bipolar transistors since the mobility of charge carriers is far better in vacuum tubes which is suitable for high-power high-frequency applications like on-air television broadcasting.
