1 . (a) S.E. Sem. [EXTC] Analog Electronics - Prelim Question Paper Solution Comparison between BJT and JFET BJT JFET ) BJT is a bipolar device, both majority JFET is an unipolar device, electron and minority carriers take place in electrical conduction. current in Nchannel and hole current in Pchannel. ) BJT is current operated device, it is a current controlled current source. JFET is voltage operated device, it is a voltage controlled current source. 3) BJT has high g m and hence provides JFET has low g m and hence large gain provides low gain. 4) BJT has low input resistance ( k) JFET has high input resistance (M) input junction is forward biased. input junction is reverse biased. 5) Thermal runaway is possible in BJT. Thermal runaway is not possible in C increases when temperature increases. JFET. D decreases when temperature increases. 6) BJT can be operated with low values JFET requires large supply voltage of supply voltage (3 ) (> ) 7) BJT is noisy in operation. JFET is less noisy in operation. 8) Requires large area while fabrication Requires less area while fabrication of C's. of C's. 9) Less susceptible to damage while handling. More susceptible to damage while handling. ) ery complex biasing circuits required to provide stability. Biasing circuits are less complex when compared to that of BJT. ) Cannot be used as a voltage variable resistance t can be used as a voltage variable resistance. (b) Thermal Runaway in Transistor The junction temperature of a transistor can increase due to the increase in ambient temperature or due to self heating. The transistor collector current is given by C B + ( + ) CBO CBO is temperature dependent, CBO doubles for C rise in temperature in Si transistor. Hence if the collector junction temperature (T j ) increases, the minority leakage current CBO increases, this increases C, hence the power dissipation in transistor (P D ) increases. Since power is dissipated in the form of heat, the junction temperature further increases, further increasing C. T j CBO C P D 3/Engg/SE/Pre Pap/3/EXTC/AE_
2 : S.E. AE - Thus due to thermal regeneration, C increases to a very high value causing damage to the transistor (burn out). This phenomenon is by which C increases with temperature is called as thermal regeneration. The process by which transistor undergoes damage is called thermal runaway. f the rate at which power dissipated in transistor is equal to the rate at which power radiated outside, then junction temperature remains constant. This is achieved by using Heat Sink. Note : Thermal bias stability is very important in the case of BJT.. (c) in s + s in s A A in A. s + A. ( A.)

3 Prelim Question Paper Solution However, initially oscillator should design with A > when power supply is turned on the output voltage keeps on building up (A > ). After output reaches at desired output level then A should reduce to by decreasing either A or. Hence stable oscillation will be obtained.. (d). (a) Comparison between LC and RC Oscillator LC RC ) LC oscillators are used to generate An RC oscillator is used for low high frequency. The frequency of frequency oscillator oscillations is f o f o ; fo RC LC LC ) Range of operating frequency is low. By varying the frequency determining Usually above MHz frequency. components a wide range of frequency is obtained. Used upto MHz frequency. 3) Frequency stability of LC oscillators Frequency stability of RC oscillators is poor because the values of is relatively better. frequency determining components change with temperature, ageing etc. Also the capacitor value becomes comparable to junction capacitors at high frequency. 4) LC oscillators are used for high RC oscillators can not be used at frequency applications because in high frequencies because the value the low frequency range the values of capacitor required is of the order of L and C should be very large. of junction capacitors. Hence the Large values of L and C makes the junction capacitors can change the circuit bulky and costly. frequency of oscillations. Hence frequency stability is not better at high frequencies. Hence, it is used at low frequencies. The DC equivalent circuit is as shown DD 4 7M G R D 4.7k M R S.5k 3/Engg/SE/Pre Pap/3/EXTC/AE_ 3

Thus due to thermal regeneration C increases to a very high value causing damage to transistor. This is thermal runaway. 4 3/Engg/SE/Pre Pap/3/EXTC/AE_
5 Prelim Question Paper Solution FET on the other hand have negative temperature coefficient since the mobility decreases with increasing temperature. Since majority carrier current decreases with temperature, thermal runaway is not encountered in FET. 3. (a) (ii) Transfer characteristics of JFET A graph drawn with D, D.

(b) (i) Positive Biased Clamper : This circuit is same as C positive clamper, only difference that a battery of potential is connected in series with the diode D. in D R L The battery is connected in such a way that it + R makes the diode reverse biased.

17 6. (a) Prelim Question Paper Solution NChannel Enhancement MOSFET (NMOS) Construction The figure shows the construction of NMOS. t consists of p type substrate in which two n type regions are formed as shown in figure. The electrical connection taken from these n regions are known as DRAN and SOURCE. A insulating layer of SiO is formed on the top of the p substrate by oxidizing the silicon. The high conductivity polycrystalline silicon layer is deposited on the SiO and the electrical connection taken from it is known as GATE. An electron layer forms between Drain and Source after applying voltage at the gate. This layer is also known as nchannel. n the figure L is the length of the channel and W is the width of the channel and t ox is the thickness of the oxide layer. The electrical connection brought out from p substrate is known as Body Terminal. Basic Operation of NMOS For the NMOS to conduct we have to apply positive voltage at the gate. Thus when the applied gate voltage GS is less than the threshold voltage TN, then no electron inversion layer creates, and also the pn junction between Drain and Substrate is Reverse Biased therefore no current flows between Drain and Source of the NMOS. GS < TN G Now consider we are applying constant dc voltage DS between Drain and Source, if we increase the value of GS, then electron inversion layer is created between Drain and Source, and due to applied positive Drain to Source voltage, electron moves from Source to the positive terminal drain and Convention current flows from Drain to source. As shown in figure, for constant value of DS, as the value of GS increases, then the Drain current of the NMOS also increases. p S n + D Space Charge Region + DS D n + GS > TN GS > TN GS < TN G 3/Engg/SE/Pre Pap/3/EXTC/AE_ 7
18 : S.E. AE - Now let us keep the GS constant such that GS > TN, so the electron inversion layer is created between the Drain and Source, and no will increase DS in step. From the figure, Drain to Source voltage Drain to Gate voltage + Gate to source voltage DS DG + GS DG DS GS (A) Now initially as we increase DS from zero value, then Drain Current do also starts increasing as shown in figure (a). Now as we still increase DS, such that DS TN, then from equation (A) DG goes on decreasing, therefore attractive force for free carriers in the inversion layer goes on decreasing causing a reduction in the effective channel width, due to this incremental conductance of the channel at the Drain decreases, due to this increment of D due to DS decreases, i.e. slope of D vs DS curve decreases as shown in figure (b). The drain to source voltage at which this happens is known as DS (sat). Now when DS DS (sat), then it produces zero charge density at the Drain, and as DS goes on increasing then this zero charge density moves towards the source. n this case the electrons which are present right from beginning, enters through the source, and travels towards the zero charge density point, through the channel. After this, electrons gets injected into the space-charge region, and swifts towards the Drain terminal, due to the electricfield. This is similar to the electron moving in Reversebiased BC junction of B.J.T. Thus now if we increase DS, then D do not increase, infact it remains constant, i.e. Drain current D is pinchedoff and we say that NMOS operates in the Saturation Region. Transfer Characteristics : t is the graph of GS s D, as we know that when GS < TN, then electron inversion layer is absent, and hence Drain current is zero, and hence Drain current is zero, i.e. D. When GS TN, then it creates electron inversion layer between Drain and Source due to applied DS, the drain current D increases, as the GS increases.
