Automatic Switching: Transistor Project
Aims:
To understand the concept of automatic switching /
sensing in electronic circuits
To practice modelling basic electronic switching circuits
using the Live Wire and PCB Wizard software
To construct (PCB’s) printed circuit boards
University of Ulster (Jordanstown) Technology & Design PGCE
Automatic Switching: Transistor Project
You will have an opportunity to:Design a temperature/light sensing circuit.
To manufacture a printed circuit board.
Two of the circuits respond to a change in light levels and
the other two respond to a change in temperature levels.
University of Ulster (Jordanstown) Technology & Design PGCE
Practically every modern Intel Pentium processor
main board features a temperature sensor
developed at Delft University of Technology. The
sensor detects when the processor starts to
become too hot, and switches on a fan to cool it
down. As soon as the temperature drops to an
acceptable level, the fan is switched off. The
temperature sensor was developed by Dr. Anton
Bakker, who in April 2000…

WALT
We
Are
Learning
To
Electronics
To understand the concept of a
potential divider which provides
automatic switching of electronic
circuits
This is because .. We can learn how to design electronic
circuits and systems using automatic
switching for our project work
Remember to:
• refer to the water analogy to help
understand how the Potential divider
works

WILF:
What
I am
Looking
For
Electronics
• an understanding of the potential divider as
a sensor / automatic switch
• the ability to sketch a circuit diagram of an
automatic temperature / light sensing
sensor circuit
• to be able to model and test an automatic
switching circuit
• to make a PCB and build a sensing circuit as
an example of a transistor-based control
system

The Transistor
Transistors are
semiconductor devices.
This means that they have
a resistance to the flow of
electrons – current.
However they become
conductors if a small
voltage is provided across
two of the legs – the base
and the emitter.

You can use the transistor as a high speed switch if a small voltage of
0.6 – 1.6V is applied to the base leg as shown below

Transistor Gain:
We know that a small current flowing at the base of the transistor
will ‘turn on’ a large collector current. This is known as current Amplification.
The ratio Ic
Ib
is a measure of the amplification which we call the transistors current
gain. The symbol for the transistor current gain is hfe

Ex 1: Potential Divider / Dark Light ‘on’
‘OFF’
In the light the voltage between the
base and the emitter leg of the
transistor is 657mV or 0.65V. For this
transistor the voltage is not enough to
switch it on – therefore the bulb
remains off.
In the darkness the voltage between the
base and the emitter leg of the
transistor is 739mV or 0.739V. This
‘ON’

voltage is high enough to switch on the
transistor – therefore the bulb is
switched ‘on’.
