Applications
Switch
In this case, the current IC will flow that would turn on the load.
If the input is high and equal to VCC, the transistor is driven into
saturation, and the output is low and equal to VCE (sat).
When V1 = 5 V and V2 = 0,
transistor Q1 can be driven
into saturation, and Q2
remains in cutoff. With Q1
in saturation, the output
voltage VO = VCE (sat).
Amplifier: The BJT inverter circuit can also be used to amplify a time-varying
input signal

Example
B-E Loop
Applying Kirchoffs voltage law:
VCC I B RB VBE I E RE 0
Knowing: I E ( 1) I B
Combining these two formulas:
VCC I B RB VBE ( 1) I B RE 0
Grouping terms and solving for IB:
VCC VBE
IB
RB ( 1)RE
C-E Loop
Applying Kirchoffs voltage law: I E RE VCE I C RC VCC 0
Finding VE:
VE I E RE
VB VBE VE

IC = IB = 100(21.62m)=2.16mA
IE = IC + IB = 2.18mA
VCC = RC IC + VCE + RE IE
10 = 2k(2.16m)+VCE +0.4(2.18m)
VCE = 4.8 V active region
