Transistor Biasing

- The document summarizes key topics from an electronics lecture on BJT amplifiers including homework assignments, midterm exam details, and BJT biasing techniques such as fixed base bias and self-biasing. - It provides examples of calculating bias voltages and currents for different biasing configurations and transistor gains. Small signal models are also introduced including definitions of terms like transconductance and AC base resistance. - The document concludes by discussing additional amplifier principles such as AC and DC load lines, current gain, and the emitter follower circuit.

BJT models :

Large Signal Model:


biasing the BJT
Fixed Base Bias:
=100: assume active
IB = (15-0.7)V/200k = 71.5μA
IC = IB = 7.15mA
VCE = 15 – 1k7.15m = 7.85V 
=300:
IC = IB = 21.45mA
bias does not adjust
for changes in 
VCE = 15 – 1k21.45m = -6.45V
Another Bias:
self-biasing
IE remains the same
IE = (VBB – 0.7)/RE IB changes …
IE = IB + IC VCC =15V
IE = IB + IB VBB = 5V
RC = RE = 2k
IE = (1 + )IB
VCE = VCC – RCIC – REIE

 = 100
 VCE = 6.44V

 = 300
 VCE = 6.42V
BJT biasing the Common Emitter:

a.) fixed bias:

b.) self biasing:

Q-point must respect


power dissipation constraints
Remember Thevenin?

Rb =

VBB = R2Vcc /(R1 + R2 )
Bias Currents:

fixed bias: VBB  v BE


iB =

T up   up  IC up
(thermal runaway)

self biasing: VBB  v BE


iB =

self biasing:  iB down


Bias Determines Quiescent Point:
Superposition: Small Signal…

iB(t) = IBQ + ib(t) VCC/(RC+RE)
