When a transistor is driven to saturation, ideally the output is _____________?

Correct answer: B. 0

  • A. VCC
  • B. 0
  • C. VCC/2
  • D. 2VCC

Explanation

In a common-emitter transistor switch, saturation drives the collector-emitter voltage close to zero, so the output is ideally 0 V. The small residual value in practice is called VCE(sat).
