TRANSISTOR AS A SWITCH
Aim:
Design Transistor act as a Switch and verify the operation. Choose VCC = 10V,

IC max = 10 m A, hfe =50, VCE Sat = 0.2, Vin = 4Vp-p, VBE Sat = 0.6 V.

Apparatus:

S. No Name of the component Specification Quantity


1. Resistors 1kΩ 1
8.2kΩ 1
2. Transistor BC 107 1
3. Bread board 1
4. Connecting wires 1 Bunch
5. Function generator 1
6. CRO 1
7. Dual Regulated Power supply (0-30) V DC 1

Circuit Diagram:

Theory:

When the I/P voltage Vi is negative or zero, transistor is cut-off and no current flows
through Rc , henceV0= VCC when i/p Voltage Vi jumps to positive voltage, transistor will be
driven into saturation. Then
V0 = Vcc – ICRC = VCEsat
Design procedure:

When Q is ON Then
Rc= (Vcc- VCE sat) / Ic max
= (10-0.2)/10 mA
=1 k ohms
IB ≥ IC max / hfe
≥ 10mA / 50

IB ≥0.2 mA
To keep transistor remains ON, IB should be greater than
Vin = IBRB + VBE Sat
2V = 0.2 mA RB + 0.6V
RB= 7 K ohms (choose practical values as 8.2 K Ω)

Procedure:-

1. Connect the circuit as shown in figure.


2. Apply the Square wave 4 Vp-p frequency of 1 KHz
3. Observe the waveforms at Collector and Base and plot it.

Precautions: -

1. When you are measuring O/P waveform at collector and base, keep the CRO in DC mode.
2. When you are measuring VBE Sat, VCE Sat keep volts/div switch at either 0.2 or 0.5
position.
3. When you are applying the square wave see that there is no DC voltage in that. This can be
checked by CRO in either AC or DC mode, there should not be any jumps/distortion in
waveform on the screen.
Model Graph:

Result:

Transistor as a switch has been designed and O/P waveforms are observed. .

Questions:

1. Differentiate between Diode and Transistor as a switch?


2. Mention typical values of VBE Sat, VCE Sat for both Si, Ge Transistors?
3. Define ON time, OFF time of the transistor?
4. In which regions Transistor acts as a switch?
5. Explain phenomenon of “latching “in a Transistor switch?
6. Define Rise time & fall time of a transistor switch?
