v Transistor Currents: IE = IC + IB
v alpha ( DC): IC = DCIE
v beta ( DC): IC = DCIB
– DC typically has a value between 20 and 200
Trang 15Examples and Exercises:
Trang 17Ø Step 1 – Assume an operating mode
Let’s assume the BJT is in the linear region ! Remember, this is just a guess; we have no way of knowing for sure what mode the BJT is in at this point
Ø Step 2 Enforce the conditions of the assumed mode
Ø Step 3 – ANALYZE the circuit
Ø Step 4 “Write KVL equations for the baseemitter “leg”
Trang 19Transistor Characteristics and Parameters
The Cutoff Region
With no IB the transistor is in the cutoff region and just as the name implies there is practically no current flow in the collector part of the circuit. With the transistor in a cutoff state the full VCC can be
measured across the collector and emitter(VCE)
Trang 20v Consider the circuit shown in Fig. 5.34(a), which is redrawn in Fig. 5.34(b)
Trang 22Example 5.4 Figure 5.34
Trang 23Solution Example 5.4
Trang 24VRE = VBB VBE
Trang 25Ø Assuming that VBE is approximately 0.7 V, it follows that the emitter voltage will be:
Ø Step 2:
Ø We know the voltages at the two ends of RE and thus can determine the current IE through it,
Trang 26v Step 3:
v We can evaluate the collector current from:
Trang 27Ø Step 4: We are now in a position to use Ohm’s law to
determine the collector voltage :
Ø Since the base is at +4 V, the collector–base junction is reverse biased by 1.3 V, and the transistor is indeed in the active mode
as assumed
Ø Step 5: It remains only to determine the base current IB, as
follows:
Trang 28Example 5.5
Trang 29Example 5.5 Figure 5.35
Trang 31v Assuming activemode operation, we have:
Trang 32Ø Since the collector voltage calculated, appears to be less than the base voltage by 3.52 V, it follows that our original
assumption of activemode operation is incorrect. In fact, the transistor has to be in the saturation mode. Assuming this to
be the case, we have:
