This link between the input and output circuits is the main feature of transistor action. The input circuit is connected between emitter and base, and the output circuit is taken from. An npn transistor may have either a common base cb or a common emitter ce configuration, each with its own distinct inputs and outputs.
Hence it names common emitter type transistor configuration. The common emitter arrangement for npn and pnp transistor is shown in the figure below. In active region the npn transistor acts as a good amplifier. In this configuration, the base terminal of the transistor serves as the input, the emitter terminal is the output and the collector terminal is common for both input and output. Keep the base current i b constant and vary the value of output voltage v ce for different points, now note down the value of collector i c for each point. Common base cb configuration or common base amplifier. Characteristics of an npn transistor in common emitter. Different configurations of transistors common base. There are two basic types of bipolar transistor construction, pnp and npn, which. Also this type of bipolar transistor configuration has a high ratio of output.
Hence, the input is between the base and the emitter while the output is. Then, the collector or output characteristics curves for common emitter npn. In a common emitter configuration, emitter is common to both input and output as. Here we take input characteristics of common base configuration and output characteristics of common base configuration of transistor. Emitter base voltage is shown in x axis of characteristics.

The three important characteristics of a transistor in any mode are i input characteristics ii output characteristics and iii transfer character. Common emitter configuration can be applied on both types of transistor, pnp transistor, and npn transistor. Common emitter ce configuration or common emitter amplifier. Output characteristics of npn transistor class 12 india physics khan academy duration. In a common emitter setup, separate input voltages are applied to the p portion from the base v be and the collector v ce. The circuit to study the characteristic curves of npn transistor in common emitter mode is as shown in fig. Thus the base terminal of a transistor is common for both input and output terminals and hence it is named as common base configuration. Transistor circuit configurations and input output characteristics s. Also, the npn silicon transistors are used more commonly than the pnp transistors. The most commonly used transistor configuration is the npn transistor. The input is applied between the base and collector while the output is taken from the emitter and collector.
Using these 3 terminals the transistor can be connected in a circuit with one terminal common to both input and output in a 3 different possible configurations. Transistor common emitter amplifier electronics notes. Commonemitter configuration of a transistor topics covered. Junction transistor circuit configurations and characteristics toppr.
Basic electronics transistor configurations tutorialspoint. The three important characteristics of a transistor in any mode are i input characteristics ii output characteristics and iii transfer characterstics. The input and output signals are inphase in this configuration. The common emitter configuration is equally applicable to both npn transistor and pnp. Commonemitter configuration of a transistor youtube. To study the input and output characteristics of an npn transistor in common. Output i c v ce characteristics of an npn power bjt in common emitter configuration. The common emitter amplifier configuration is possibly the most widely used form of.
We know that generally the transistor has three terminals emitter e, base b and collector. In this lecture, i have discussed the transistor characteristics in common emitter ce configuration input characteristics which is very useful for all the examinations. Hence, it is named as common collector configuration. Characteristics of an npn transistor in common emitter configuration. To fully describe the behavior of a transistor with ce configuration, we need two set of characteristics input characteristics and output characteristics. The bjt transistors have mainly three types of configurations. Thus, the emitter is common to both the input and the output circuit, and hence the name is the common emitter configuration.
Common emitter transistor configuration, characteristics. The input signal is applied between the emitter and base terminals while the corresponding output signal is taken across the collector and base terminals. A transistor has 3 terminals, the emitter, the base and the collector. The output characteristics of common emitter configuration are obtained between the output current i c and output voltage v ce with constant input current i b. In common emitter npn transistor total current flow through the transistor is defined as the ratio of collector current to the base current icib. The three types of configurations are common base, common emitter.
