Why do transistors need a resistor?
The resistors are used as a means of generating voltage drops and thereby pulling the transistor into the desired operating region. because you need to limit the current to semiconductor terminals. A transistor bjt is composed of three layers, so it has two junctions, an emitter junction and a collector junction.
How transistor is used as NOT gate?
A NOT gate simply inverts its input. When no voltage is present on the input, the transistor turns off. When the transistor is off, no current flows through the collector-emitter path. Thus, current from the supply voltage (Vcc in the schematic) flows through resistor R1 to the output.
How many transistors are there in NOT gate?
A NOT gate is 1 transistor. A NAND gate is 1 transistor per input.
How are transistors used as logic gates?
The use of transistors for the construction of logic gates depends upon their utility as fast switches. When the base-emitter diode is turned on enough to be driven into saturation, the collector voltage with respect to the emitter may be near zero and can be used to construct gates for the TTL logic family.
Is a transistor a NAND gate?
A NAND gate is made using transistors and junction diodes.
How many resistors do you need for a NOT gate?
An inverter (NOT gate) done with MOSFETs needs only to have one transistor. You can do an inverter with just one MOSFET (type P or type N) and one resistor. Previous answers to the question already pointed out this, so I do not discuss it further, just show a picture of one such NOT gate below.
Is there such a thing as resistor transistor logic?
Resistor–transistor logic (RTL) (sometimes also transistor–resistor logic (TRL)) is a class of digital circuits built using resistors as the input network and bipolar junction tran sistors (BJTs) as switching devices.
What happens when you have two resistors in the inverter?
With two or more base resistors (R 3 and R 4) instead of one, the inverter becomes a two-input RTL NOR gate (see the figure on the right).
When do you use a transistor for a gate?
The use of transistor for AND gate operation depends on the transistor switching speed. For AND gate operation we use transistor as a switch.
