Transistor Basics

Biasing is required in a transistor to establish the required operating conditions for proper amplification and switching.

The symbol for an NPN transistor is an arrow pointing inwards, while the symbol for a PNP transistor is an arrow pointing outwards.

Four advantages of ICs are miniaturization, increased reliability, reduced power consumption, and improved performance.
