Bipolar Junction Transistor
- NPN: Not Pointing iN
- PNP: Pointing iN Please
- The arrow is for the emitter current. For an NPN the current flows into the collector. For a PNP the current flows out of the collector.
NPN Active Region
- Base-emitter junction is forward biased
- Base-collector junction is reverse biased
