Introduction:

Bipolar junction transistor (BJT) is a 3 terminal (emitter, base, collector) semiconductor device. There are
two types of transistors namely NPN and PNP. It consists of two P-N junctions namely emitter junction
and collector junction.

In Common Emitter configuration the input is applied between base and emitter and the output is taken
from collector and emitter. Here emitter is common to both input and output and hence the name common
emitter configuration.

Input characteristics are obtained between the input current and input voltage taking output voltage as
parameter. It is plotted between VBE and IB at constant VCE in CE configuration.

Output characteristics are obtained between the output voltage and output current taking input current as
parameter. It is plotted between VCE and IC at constant IB in CE configuration.
