Transfer characteristics [output voltage (V0) vs input voltage (Vi)] for a base biased transistor in CE configuration is as shown in the figure. For using transistor as a switch, it is used [figure]

  1. in region III
  2. both in region (I) and (III)
  3. in region II
  4. in region I

Answer

(2) both in region (I) and (III)

Solution

Region I: cut-off region — Vi is low, transistor is OFF, V0 is high.

Region II: active region — used for amplification.

Region III: saturation region — transistor is ON, V0 is low.

A switch must work only in the OFF and ON states,

the transistor is used in the cut-off (I) and saturation (III) regions.

Answer: (2)
