To fully describe the behavior of a three-terminal device such as the common base amplifiers requires two sets of characteristics.
Output parameter side
Driving point or input parameters
The output set will relate an output current ( IC) to an output voltage (VCB) for various levels of input current ( IE)
I (^) E =
Cutt-off.
As inferred by its name, the cutoff region is defined as that region where the collector current is 0 A.
Saturation Region.
The saturation region is defined as that region of the characteristics to the left of VCB = 0V.
The exponential increase in collector current as the voltage VCB increases toward 0V.
In saturation region the BJT acts as closed switch which allows all the current to pass and Voltage across the BJT is very low.
The input set for the common-base amplifier will relate an input current ( IE) to an input voltage ( VBE) for various levels of output voltage (VCB).
BJT enters in the ON state (Saturation mode).
