BC857AM,315 application field and working principle

BC857AM,315 is an NPN bi-polar transistor belonging to the family of small signal transistors and finds its use in various applications. BC857AM,315 has a variety of uses including amplifying and switching applications.

The BC857AM,315 can be used as an amplifier with a gain between 60 and 300. This makes it suitable for many audio and high-frequency common base amplifying applications. The device can be used for both linear and switching applications.

The BC857AM,315 can also be used for switching applications such as for switching a motor on and off. In this application the device would be called upon to turn on the motor when a PNP transistor has been energized and off when the PNP transistor is off.

Working principle of BC857AM,315

The BC857AM,315 is an NPN bi-polar transistor which has three terminals, Base (B), Collector (C) and Emitter (E).

Most of the current flowing through the transistor flows from the emitter to the collector and a small amount flows from the base to the emitter. This process is known as biasing. When a voltage is applied to the base of the transistor, current flows from the emitter to collector and it is known as an active state.

The gain of the transistor BC857AM,315 is determined by the ratio of the current flowing from collector to emitter as compared to the current flowing from base to emitter. The gain is usually expressed as the ratio of IC/IB .

The base current of the BC857AM,315 is determined by the base-collector voltage of the transistor. It is inversely proportional to the voltage. The device has low base currents when the base-collector voltage is high and this is advantageous for the transistor as it helps us in obtaining high gains.

To obtain the best performance, the transistor needs to be fed with an appropriate base current. Excessivly high base current may cause the transistor to be damaged.

The collector current of the transistor BC857AM,315 is determined by the voltage applied at the collector and base current. The current flowing through the collector is inversely proportional to the base current. When the base current is high the collector current will be low and vice versa.

The emitter current of the transistor is determined by the base current and collector current. The current flowing out of the emitter is inversely proportional to the collector current. As collector current increases the emitter current will decrease and vice versa.

The proper functioning of the transistor depends on the application of the correct amount of current and voltage through its terminals. The current and voltage should be such that they do not exceed the ratings of the transistor as doing so would cause it to be damaged.
