The "deep" logic of a transistor in a pulse circuit relies on transitioning rapidly between two non-linear states:
The transistor acts as a closed switch (short circuit). Both junctions are forward-biased, and maximum current flows from the collector to the emitter. A small voltage drop ( Transistors in Pulse Circuits
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.
