text: This configuration, which uses three NPN transistors and one PNP transistor, is advantageous because while the first transistors and the most common small signal transistors for decades were PNP germanium devices, silicon PNP power transistors were slower to develop, and have historically been more expensive, than their NPN counterparts.
