How do transistor switches work?How do transistor switches work?Can be viewed as solid state relays:they are either ON or they are OFF.

BJT switches are characterized by:

high base current (or no base current)

low resistance from collector to emitter(or very high resistance)

low collector dissipationPC = VCE x IC

PC = 0 x IC = 0 W(or PC = VCE x 0 = 0 W)

LOADLOADLOAD

DRIVER

The driver output is zero volts, IB = 0 and ILOAD = 0The driver output is positive, IB > 0 and the load is onThe driver output is zero volts, IB = 0 and the load is off

LOAD

DRIVER

The driver output is off (high Z): the resistorpulls the base voltage up so that VBE = 0

PNP SWITCH

The driver output goes low: the voltage dropacross the resistor makes VBE negative

The driver output is off (high Z): the resistorpulls the base voltage up so that VBE = 0
