    The document discusses the unijunction transistor (UJT), a three-terminal semiconductor device that acts as an electrically controlled switch. It consists of a bar of N-type silicon with a small region of diffused P-type material, forming one PN junction. Current normally does not flow until the emitter voltage exceeds the B1 voltage by about 10 volts. The UJT then enters a negative resistance region and turns on fully, conducting current until the emitter voltage drops below B1 by around 3 volts. Common applications of the UJT include use in timing circuits, relaxation oscillators, and triggering other devices like SCRs.

    A unijunction transistor (UJT) is a
    three-lead electronic
    semiconductor device with only
    one junction that acts exclusively
    as an electrically controlled
    switch.
    The UJT is not used as a linear
    amplifier.UJT is a breakover-type
    switching device.
    It is a special transistor that has
    two bases and one emitter
    • UJT consists of a bar of N-type silicon material (lightly-doped) and a
    small amount of diffused P-type material (heavily-doped)
    • An emitter terminal E is connected to the P material to form the PN
    junction
    • Two paths for current flow: B2 to B1; E to
    B1
    • Normally current does not flow in either
    until Emitter voltage is about 10 volts
    higher than B1 voltage
    • The original unijunction transistor, or UJT, is a simple device that
    is essentially a bar of n-type semiconductor material into which p-
    type material has been diffused somewhere along its length,
    fixing the device parameter (the "intrinsic stand-off ratio"). The
    2N2646 model is the most commonly used version of the UJT.
    • The complementary unijunction transistor, or CUJT, is a bar of p-
    type semiconductor material into which n-type material has been
    diffused somewhere along its length, defining the device
    parameter . The 2N6114 model is one version of the CUJT.
    • The programmable unijunction transistor, or PUT, is a multi-
    junction device that, with two external resistors, displays similar
    characteristics to the UJT. It is a close cousin to the thyristor and
    like the thyristor consists of four p-n layers. It has an anode and a
    cathode connected to the first and the last layer, and a gate
    connected to one of the inner layers. PUTs are not directly
    interchangeable with conventional UJTs but perform a similar
    function. In a proper circuit configuration with two
    "programming" resistors for setting the parameter , they behave
    like a conventional UJT. The 2N6027, 2N6028[2] and BRY39
    models are examples of such devices
    UJT OPERATION
    1) When a voltage, called standoff voltage VP applied to
    the emitter is about 10 volts higher than the voltage
    applied to B1 , UJT turns on and current flows through
    the B2-B1 path and from the emitter-B1 path.
    2)Current will continue to flow through the UJT until the
    voltage applied to the emitter drops to a point that is
    about 3 volts higher than the voltage applied to B1
    Common UJT circuit Pulse produced by capacitor
    dischargeUJT Operation
    3)When emitter voltage drops to this point,the UJT will
    turn off and will remain off until the voltage applied to
    the emitter again reaches a level about 10 volts higher
    than the voltage applied to B1
    • The characteristics of Unijunction Transistor (UJT) can be explained by three parameters:
    • Cutoff
    • Negative Resistance Region
    • Saturation
    • Characteristics Curve of Unijunction Transistor

    • Cutoff
    • Cutoff region is the area where the Unijunction Transistor (UJT) doesn’t get sufficient voltage to turn on. The applied
    voltage hasn’t reached the triggering voltage, thus making transistor to be in off state.

    • Negative Resistance Region


    • When the transistor reaches the triggering voltage, VTRIG, Unijunction Transistor (UJT) will turn on. After a certain time, if
    the applied voltage increases to the emitter lead, it will reach out at VPEAK. The voltage drops from VPEAK to Valley Point
    even though the current increases (negative resistance).

    • Saturation
    • Saturation region is the area where the current and voltage raises, if the applied voltage to emitter terminal increases.
    • The advantages of Unijunction Transistor include:

    • low cost
    • negative resistance characteristics
    • Requires low value of triggering current.
    • A stable triggering voltage
    • Low power absorbing device
    • The main disadvantage of Unijunction Transistor is its inability
    to provide appropriate amplification
    There are some important applications of UJT (uni-junction transistor) which are given below.

    • The UJT is used in timing circuit.


    • The uni-junction transistor (UJT) used as relaxation oscillator.
    • It is used as voltage detector.
    • The UJT is used for switching.
    • It is widely used as triggering device for silicon control rectifier (SCR) and TRIAC.
    • UJTs can also be used to measure magnetic flux.
    • The UJT is used in phase control circuit.
    • The UJT is used as saw tooth generator
