BC547 amplifier circuit
- The figure shows the basic amplifier circuit using BC547, in which the circuit has only four components.
- Input resistor and capacitor will be used as bypass components and the resistor is the biasing agent for bias of the BC547 transistor.
- So when the audio signal reaches the input, the transistor amplifies and given the signal to the output speaker.
BC547 as a switch
- The figure shows the basic circuit of BC547 as a switch, the circuit has two resistors for drive LEDs and a transistor bias terminal.
- As when the switch becomes close the current starts to flow through the circuit and the transistor works as a switch.
- And make the LED ON and off with a proper time interval.
