Q. When transistors are used in digital circuits they usually operate in the

A
Active region
B
Breakdown region
C
Saturation and Cutoff regions
D
Linear region
Solution:
  • The transistor works as a closed switch in the saturation area and as an open switch in the cutoff zone.
  • Digital circuits operate 0 or 1 in binary form. So saturation and cut off regions can operate the circuit.
  • In the saturation zone (closed switch), output ?1? is produced, whereas in the cut off zone (open switch), output ?0? is produced.
