Bc558 is a pnp transistor hence the collector and emitter will be closed forward biased when the base pin is held at ground and will be opened reverse biased when a signal is provided to base pin. Plate 9 illustrates how to connect a pnp transistor to an arduino or similar microcontroller. Pnp transistor tutorial the bipolar pnp transistor. The pnp transistor is the exact opposite to the npn transistor device we looked at in the previous tutorial. Plate 2 2n3055 transistor switch must have predriver. Pumd48 npnpnp resistorequipped transistors nexperia. Devices integrating two transistors are available in ultracompact packages, suitable for various applications such as preamplifier differential amplification circuits, highfrequency oscillattors, driver ics and so forth.
August 2009 high voltage bjts for pre driver stages of high power amplifier overview august 2009. Why npn transistors are mostly used than pnp transistors. Bjt consists of the collector, base, and emitter regions, with the very thin base region located between the. The first 2 npn transistors with their emitters joined together long tail pair is described as a differential input. While rated at 5 amps collector current they can provide the needed current gain and voltage isolation for the pnp mj2955. An excellent choice for a pre drivers for both the 2n3055 and mj2955 are the tip120 and tip125 complementary darlington power transistors. The output voltage is the result of a difference between the two inputs. Like any transistor, a pnp provides amplification andor switching capabilities to turn a load on or off connected to it. Here the ground refers to the negative line for an npn and the positive line for a pnp bjt.
