Learning Outcomes
This is the symbol for an NPN transistor.
Transistors are process devices.
Transistor Terminals
Transistors have three terminals:
Collector
Emitter
Base
Transistor as a Switch
Transistors can be used as switches.
Transistors can either conductconduct or not conductnot conduct current.
ie, transistors can either be onon or offoff.

How Transistors Work
Switching is controlled by the voltage between the Base and the Emitter.
Collector
Emitter
Base
When VBE < 0.7V the transistor switches off and no current flows between the Collector and the Emitter.
When VBE ≥ 0.7V the transistor switches on and current flows between the Collector and the Emitter.
Transistor Switching Example
When VBE is less than 0.7V the transistor is off and the lamp does not light.
When VBE is greater than 0.7V the transistor is on and the lamp lights.

Introduction to Logic
Many digital electronic processes are designed around “logic” circuits.
The Inputs and Outputs in logic have only two values:
0 & 1High & LowOn & Off
Logic is ideally suited to help design digital electronic circuits because of its binary nature.
We will look at some fundamental logic circuits.

The bulb will turn on only when switches S1 AND S2 are closed, for all other combinations the bulb is off.

inputs,Every Output for each combination of
inputs.There are special circuits called logic gates which can be used in control situations.

Combinational Logic Circuits
Combinational Logic Circuits are simply circuits using a
combination of AND, OR and NOT gates.
You are expected to design Logic Circuits andTruth Tables of simple combinational logic circuits.

When a car’s engine becomes too hot an LED should light but only when the ignition is switched on.

Here, the truth table is simply that for an AND Gate.
For the LED to light, the Ignition Switch must be on and the Temperature Sensor must be “hot”.

Summary of Combinational Logic Circuits
•Combinational Logic Circuits are simply combinations
of AND, OR and NOT gates.Constructing Logic Circuits
1) Make a Truth Table.2) Get the logic circuit from the Truth Table.
•Tip: If the circuit has only one “high” outputthen the circuit will probably use an AND Gate.
•Tip: If the circuit has more than one “high” output
then the circuit will probably use an OR Gate.•Tip: Note how useful NOT gates are!
