Transfer characteristics [output voltage ($V_0$) vs input voltage ($V_i$)] for a base biased transistor in CE configuration is as shown in the figure. For using transistor as a switch, it is used
A
in region I
B
in region III
C
both in region (I) and (III)
D
in region II
Detailed Solution
Region I is the cut-off region (transistor OFF, output high) and region III is the saturation region (transistor ON, output low).
Region II is the active region, used for amplification.
A switch is operated between the OFF and ON states, so the transistor is used in both region I and region III.
Region II is the active region, used for amplification.
A switch is operated between the OFF and ON states, so the transistor is used in both region I and region III.
