1 Symbolic SPICE Symbolic SPICE TM Circuit Analyzer and Approximator Application Note AN-006: Magnetic Microphone Amplifier by Gregory M. Wierzba Rev
2 A) Introduction The schematic shown below in Fig. 1 is a common-emitter amplifier with feedback biasing [1] that was used as a magnetic microphone preamp in [2,3]. A PSpice input file, MicAmp.cir, is given in Table 1. The same file is also accepted by Symbolic SPICE TM. Figure 1. Magnetic microphone amplifier Table 1.

3 B) Numerical Program Results Running PSpice, we have the following numerical results for V out /V in = V 6 /V 2 : Figure 2. Magnitude of the voltage gain versus frequency Figure 3. Phase angle of the voltage gain versus frequency 3
4 Likewise, we can find the input impedance Z in = V in /I in = V 2 /I(R S ): Figure 4. Magnitude of the input impedance versus frequency Figure 5. Phase angle of the input impedance versus frequency 4
5 C) Mid-Band Analysis Symbolic SPICE has four different AC models for a BJT [4]. These are a Simple BJT, Simple BJT with Beta, Low Frequency BJT and High Frequency BJT. For audio mid-band frequencies, the capacitances of the BJT are very high impedances and will have little effect on transfer functions. So using the High Frequency BJT model isn t necessary. The Low Frequency BJT model shown in Fig. 6 is the same as the High Frequency BJT model shown in Fig.7 but without the transistor capacitances. Figure 6. Low frequency BJT model invoked by using QL[name] Figure 7. High freqeuncy BJT model invoked by using QB[name] For AC analysis, an AC model is inserted for every element [5]. A DC power supply has no change in voltage for a change in current. Thus it appears to be a short for AC and we replace all DC voltage sources with short circuits for AC analysis. Symbolic SPICE does the same for any element invoked with V[name] and not including the symbols AC. At audio mid-band frequencies, the large coupling capacitors of Fig. 1 and Table 1 are very low impedances and these too are treated as short circuits. Likewise Symbolic SPICE has a short circuit Coupling Capacitor element [4] which is invoked with symbol. This is shown in Fig. 8. 5
6 Figure 8. Coupling capacitor invoked by using Using the Low Frequency BJT model of Fig. 6 for Q 1 requires changing the name of Q 1 in Table 1 to Q L1. Using the Coupling Capacitor model of Fig. 8 for C 1 and C 2 requires that we add symbol after the C in Table 1. This modified Symbolic SPICE input file, MicAmp_mid.cir, is given in Table 2. Table 2.

Likewise Symbolic SPICE can give you the exact symbolic answer but in most cases it is useless for design purposes because it has so many terms. A good circuit designer can make approximations based on values of components. For example, a 100k S resistor in parallel with a 1k S resistor is approximately 1k S. Symbolic SPICE too has the ability to approximate an answer if you can provide estimated values for your circuit components. To analyze and approximate the response of our magnetic microphone amplifier, we need to know the values of r B1, r o1 and g m1 for our Low Frequency BJT model. This information is available if you use the operating point (.OP) option in your PSpice input file. The results are found in the output file. For the input file of Table 1, the operating point parameters are listed in Table 3. 6

It then discards any terms for that power of s which are below this value. Magnetic Microphone Amplifier Table 5.

13 This is a significant simplification of our previous formula and is about a % change in numerical results. Also note that the resistance R 2 is effectively reduced by the gain of the amplifier. This is known as the Miller Effect [6]. H) Redesign for Increased Gain The overall voltage gain magnitude of (or db) of Fig. 1 may not be enough gain for some low volume sounds. Suppose that we try to double the gain. From our approximate formula we see that the gain is proportional to g m1 and this is proportional to the DC base current [7]. So if we double g m we would need to double the DC base current, I B. Since the approximated gain is independent of R 2 we could calculate the value of this resistor to get the desired I B. From Table 3, we find that V BE(ON) = V, I B = 4.31: A and $ DC = 130. So doubling I B would give us a value of 8.62: A and therefore I C = $ DC I B = 130 (8.62:) = 1.121m A. For DC, the capacitors are open circuits in Fig. 1 and we can label the things we know about the voltages and currents on the drawing. This is shown in Fig. 9. Figure 9. DC analysis I R1 = 8.62: m = m A and this produces a V R1 = 6.32 V. Solving for R 2 R 2 ( ) (0.649) = = 235.6k Ω 8.62µ Using the nearest standard resistor value of 220k S and re-running the PSpice of Table 1, we find the mid-band gain magnitude to be (or db). This is close to our target gain of 2(48.65) = 97.3 (or db). I) Conclusion Symbolic SPICE can be used to find the mid-band gain and input impedance of a transistor amplifier using a built in low frequency model for the BJT. Although this is the exact symbolic answer, it is almost useless for design purposes because it has so many terms. Symbolic SPICE s Approximator option can estimate these formulas if approximate values of components are known. 13
