In which region does BJT act as the OFF switch in electronic circuits? - Electronic Devices and Circuits

Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) : Electronic Devices and Circuits - Quiz(MCQ)

In which region does BJT act as the OFF switch in electronic circuits?

A)

Active

B)

Cut-off

C)

Saturation

D)

Reverse saturation

Correct Answer : Option (C) : Saturation

Explanation : In the saturation region, the emitter-base junction is forward biased, the collector-base junction is also forward biased. This is the operating mode when no current flows through BJT.
