  • Abstract
    THE AVAILABILITY of silicon transistors with low saturation voltages has made possible the development of low-level transistor choppers that are capable of operating over the temperature range of ¿50 to 150 C (degrees centigrade) with little change in over-all performance. To understand adequately the behavior of silicon transistors in a chopper type of application it is necessary to review the large-signal behavior of junction transistors.
