I am curious about the subtle differences between PNP and NPN bipolar junction transistors.
I have read that the Vbe of a PNP is greater than that of an NPN at the same collector current? Why?
It seems that the transition frequencies of NPN are, in general, greater than PNP's. Is this observation correct? Why or why not?
Are there any other small differences between PNP and NPN transistors I should be aware of?
Thanks in advance for any insight on these questions.
