active region There are 3 regions of operation: Cut-off region: The transistor is off. There is no conduction between the collector and the emitter: IB=0 therefore IC=0; Active region: The transistor is on. The collector current is proportional to and controlled by the base current (IC=βIB) and relatively insensitive to VCE. In this region the transistor can be an amplifier. Saturation region: The transistor is on. The collector current varies very little with a change in the base current in the saturation region. The voltage VCE is small, a few tenths of volt: it is below the threshold. The c
