In pulse circuits, transistors serve as high-speed electronic switches that alternate between (ON) and cutoff (OFF) states to generate, modify, and process square-wave or trigger signals. Unlike analog amplification, where a transistor operates in the "active" or linear region, pulse applications drive the device to its physical limits to ensure sharp transitions and binary logic. 1.
