• The first step is to set up an operating or ‘Q’ point using a suitable bias circuit.

• We will, by way of introduction, use a so called load line technique to see the interplay between the circuit and device constraints on voltage and current.

• This will provide a graphical analysis of amplifier behaviour.

• The following (simple) bias circuit uses a single resistor RB to fix the base current.

• It is not very good since the emitter/collector currents and hence the operating point (IC, VCE) vary with β.

• This will be improved with stabilised bias circuits in due course.

• In later discussions an a.c. signal (and an additional load resistor) will be coupled to the d.c. circuit using coupling capacitors.

• The capacitor values are chosen so that their impedance (1/ C) is negligibly small (zero) at the a.c.(signal) frequency (or over the operating frequency range).

• A capacitor acts as a short circuit for d.c. and the d.c. bias circuit can be designed independently of the a.c. source and any ‘a.c. load’.

• Numerically, 5 - 2.5 x 103 IC-VCE =0

• Or, rearranging, IC = (5 – VCE )/ (2.5 x 103)

• A plot of IC against VCE is a straight line with slope (– 1/ 2.5 x 103)

• It is called a load line and represents the variation of IC with VCE imposed by the circuit or load.

• Another variation of IC with VCE is determined by the output characteristic.

• Another variation of IC with VCE is determined by the output characteristic.

• The two relationships can be solved graphically for IC and VCE.

CE AMPLIFIER, Simple bias

• Thus we calculate three points on the load line IC = (5 – VCE )/ (2.5 x 103) as

IC =0, VCE =5V

IC = 1mA, VCE =2.5V

VCE =0V, IC =5/2500 A = 2mA.

• The region along the load line includes all points between saturation and cut-off.

• The base current IB should be chosen to maximise the output voltage swing in the linear region.

• Bearing in mind that VCE (Sat) 0.2 V and VCE Max = 5V choose the operating (Q) point at IB = 10 μA.

• The Q (d.c. bias) value of VCE is about 2.5 V

• The maximum positive signal swing allowed is, therefore (5-2.5) V = 2.5 V (The total

• The maximum negative voltage swing allowed is (2.5 –0.2) V =2.3 V

• The maximum symmetric symmetric signal swing about the Q point is determined by the smaller of these, i.e. it is 2.3 V.

• From the input curve we estimate that as IB

changes by 5μA about the bias level of 10μA then the corresponding change in VBE is about 0.025 V.

• From the output characteristic curve we also see that as we move up and down the load line a change in IB of 5μA produces a corresponding change in IC of 5mA.

• The a.c. signal current gain is 100.• This is consistent with the ideal

characteristic uniform line spacing, i.e. β = 100 = constant.

Ideal CE Amplifier Summary

• The CE voltage and current gains are high

• The voltage gain is negative, i.e. the output signal is inverted.

• The d.c. bias current sets the signal input impedance of the transistor through the dynamic resistance.

• IC = β IB ; iC = β iB.

Ideal CE Amplifier Summary

• Two of these statements:• The d.c. bias current sets the signal input

impedance of the transistor through the dynamic resistance.

• IC = β IB ; iC = β iB.

will be used to derive our simplified small signal equivalent circuit of the BJT. (It is simplified because it is based on ideal BJTs)

Additional a.c. Load

• The ‘battery’ supplying the d.c. supply VCC has negligible impedance compared to the other resistors, in particular RC.

• It therefore presents an effective ‘short-circuit’ for a.c. signals.

• The effective a.c. load is the parallel combination of RC and RL . (From the collector C we can go through RC or RL to ground)

• The available voltage swing and the voltage gain are calculated using the a.c. loadline.

• Symmetric swing reduced to about 1.25 V

• Voltage gain reduced to about –50.

Stabilised Bias Circuits

• These seek to fix the emitter current independently of BJT parameter variations, principally in β.

• This is best achieved by introducing an emitter resistance and setting the base voltage via a resistor network (R1, R2) which acts as a potential divider (provided IB can be assumed small)
