Under which condition does the bipolar junction transistor(BJT) operate in the saturation region?
Question

Under which condition does the bipolar junction transistor(BJT) operate in the saturation region?

A.

When the collector-base junctions and the emitter-base junction are both reversed-biased.

B.

When the collector-base junction is reversed-biased and the emitter-base junction is forward-biased.

C.

When the collector-base junction is forward-biased and the emitter-base junction is reversed-biased.

D.

When the collector-base junctions and the emitter-base junction are both forward-biased.

Correct option is D

A BJT operates in the saturation region when both junctions are forward-biased: Emitter–base junction: forward-biased Collector–base junction: forward-biasedIn this region: The transistor is fully ON It conducts maximum current It is commonly used as a switch in digital circuits\text{A BJT operates in the saturation region when both junctions are forward-biased:} \\[8pt]\bullet \ \text{Emitter–base junction: forward-biased} \\[4pt]\bullet \ \text{Collector–base junction: forward-biased} \\[8pt]\text{In this region:} \\[6pt]\bullet \ \text{The transistor is fully ON} \\[4pt]\bullet \ \text{It conducts maximum current} \\[4pt]\bullet \ \text{It is commonly used as a switch in digital circuits}​​
