BUT11FTU

A BJT, or Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT), is an electronic device composed of a semiconductor material with at least three terminals for connecting to an external circuit. This type of transistor works by using thermionic emission, which means that electrons are emitted from the base of the transistor due to thermal energy and then travel to the collector. Hence, the current flow in a BJT is determined by controlling the voltage applied to the base terminal.

BUT11FTU application field and working principle concentrates on BJT which is one of the most wide appliying transistor devices. This device is used in a wide range of applications. These include radio and television receivers, amplifiers, oscillators, converters, power switches, inverters, audio amplifiers, digital logic circuits and other signal processing applications. The BJT also has some important advantages such as high power ratings, high current capacities, good frequency response and wide operating temperature range.

The most important characteristic of BJT is its ability to act both as an amplifier and switch. In amplifying mode, two DC voltages are applied to the base and the collector to create a DC signal at the output from the collector. This amplified signal is then available to the load. In switching mode, the BJT can be turned on or off, depending on the signal level required. This type of transistor finds extensive use in low level switching where very fast switching speed is required.

The physical implementation of the BJT consists of three sections: base, collector and emitter. The collector and base are interconnected and have a positive voltage applied to the collector and a negative one applied to the base. The third section is the emitter, which has a higher potential than the collector, and where current flows from the base terminal to the emitter. The base terminal, when energized, causes the transistor to conduct current between the collector and emitter.

The base–emitter junction of the BJT is a forward-biased diode. Due to this, electrons from the emitter region are injected into the base region. Thus the current flow from the emitter (commonly referred to as “the current between the emitter and collector”) is controlled by the base current. This current flow is further amplified by the BJT’s current gain, which is usually denoted as beta (β). When the base current is small, the amplified current flowing through the collector–emitter circuit is known as the small-signal current gain (h_FE).

BJTs can be used in either an amplifier or switch mode. In the former mode, a DC voltage is applied to the base and collector to produce an AC signal at the output from the collector. In the latter mode, BJT can operate as a binary switch. When the base is energized, the transistor goes in its on state and when the base is not energized, the BJT goes in its off state.

The specific applications of BUT11FTU will depend upon a number of factors like current gain, stability, turn-on time and power dissipation. The BUT11FTU is mainly used where high current and low voltage are required. This type of transistor is mainly used in low speed switching applications but can be used at higher frequencies as well. This device generally offers low noise and good linearity, and works well for audio applications. Some of the most common applications of the BUT11FTU can be seen in power supplies, audio amplifiers, flip flops, timers, logic and amplification circuits.
