BC547 is a NPN transistor hence the collector and emitter will be left open (Reverse biased) when the base pin is held at ground and will be closed (Forward biased) when a signal is provided to base pin. BC547 has a gain value of 110 to 800, this value determines the amplification capacity of the transistor. The maximum amount of current that could flow through the Collector pin is 100mA, hence we cannot connect loads that consume more than 100mA using this transistor. To bias a transistor we have to supply current to base pin, this current (IB) should be limited to 5mA.

When this transistor is fully biased then it can allow a maximum of 100mA to flow across the collector and emitter. This stage is calledSaturation Regionand the typical voltage allowed across the Collector-Emitter (V­CE) or Base-Emitter (VBE) could be 200 and 900 mV respectively. When base current is removed the transistor becomes fully off, this stage is called as theCut-off Regionand the Base Emitter voltage could be around 660 mV.

BC547 as Switch

When a transistor is used as a switch it is operated in theSaturation and Cut-Off Regionas explained above. As discussed a transistor will act as an Open switch during Forward Bias and as a Closed switch during Reverse Bias, this biasing can be achieved by supplying the required amount of current to the base pin. As mentioned the biasing current should maximum of 5mA. Anything more than 5mA will kill the Transistor; hence a resistor is always added in series with base pin. The value of this resistor (RB) can be calculated using below formulae.

R= V/ I

Where, the value of VBEshould be 5V for BC547 and the Base current (IBdepends on the Collector current (IC). The value of IBshould not exceed mA.

BC547 as Amplifier

A Transistors acts as an Amplifier when operating inActive Region. It can amplify power, voltage and current at different configurations.

Some of the configurations used in amplifier circuits are

Common emitter amplifier

Common collector amplifier

Common base amplifier

Of the above types common emitter type is the popular and mostly used configuration. When uses as an Amplifier the DC current gain of the Transistor can be calculated by using the below formulae

DC Current Gain = Collector Current (I) / Base Current (I)
