1 G. izzoni, Principles and Applications of lectrical ngineering Problem solutions, hapter 10 hapter 10 nstructor Notes hapter 10 introduces bipolar junction transistors. The material on transistors has been reorganized in this 4 th dition, and is now divided into two independent chapters, one on bipolar devices, and one on field-effect devices. The two chapters are functionally independent, except for the fact that Section 10.1, introducing the concept of transistors as amplifiers and switches, can be covered prior to starting hapter 11 if the instructor decides to only teach field-effect devices. Section 10.2 introduces the fundamental ideas behind the operation of bipolar transistors, and illustrates the calculation of the state and operating point of basic transistor circuits. The discussion of the properties of the JT in Section 10.2 is centered around a description of the base and collector characteristics, and purposely avoids a detailed description of the physics of the device, with the intent of providing an intuitive understanding of the transistor as an amplifier and electronic switch. xample 10.5 introduces the use of lectronics Workbench (W) as a tool for analyzing electronics circuits; the D- OM contains an introduction to the software package and a number of solved problems. Section 10.3 introduces large-signal models of the JT, and also includes the box Focus on Methodology: Using device data sheets (pp ). xample 10.7 (LD Driver) and the box Focus on Measurements: Large Signal Amplifier for Diode Thermometer (pp ) provide two application examples that include W solutions. Section 8.4 introduces the analysis of JT switches and presents TTL gates. The end-of-chapter problems are straightforward applications of the concepts illustrated in the chapter. Learning Objectives 1. Understand the basic principles of amplification and switching. Section Understand the physical operation of bipolar transistors; determine and select the operating point of a bipolar transistor circuit; understand the principle of small signal amplifiers. Section Understand the large-signal model of the bipolar transistor, and apply it to simple amplifier circuits. Section Understand the operation of bipolar transistor as a switch and analyze basic analog and digital gate circuits. Section

Therefore the initial assumption (operation in the active region) was correct and the solution is valid. Notes: 1. f the collector-emitter voltage were less than its saturation value, the transistor would be operating in its "saturation" or "ohmic" region. n this case, the collector-emitter voltage is equal to its saturation value (0.3 for Silicon). The solution for the base current remains valid. However, the parameter β and the solution for the collector and emitter curents become invalid. n the saturation region, the base-emitter junction is still forward biased and its voltage remains the same. A solution for the collector and emitter currents is possible using the collector-emitter saturation voltage (0.3 for Silicon) in a KL. 2. n the saturation region, the base current has no control over the collector or emitter currents (since β is invalid). Therefore, amplification is impossible. Problem For the circuit shown in Figure P10.14: 15 β kΩ kΩ 4kΩ 200Ω 1.5kΩ 0.9kΩ cos[ t]m L S Q and the region of operation. v 3 S

When β is very high (say, greater than 50) the "high beta approximation" can be used, i.e.: β Using this approximation in this problem: Q 12.5µA Q Q ma Q The collector-emitter voltage is greater than the saturation value (but not by much) so the original assumption (operation in the active region) and the solution are valid. However, when a signal is introduced into the circuit, the collector-emitter voltage will vary about its Q point value. Since the Q point is close to saturation, saturation and severe distortion due to clipping is likely.

D : Suppress : TH kω eq 1 2 First, determine the collector and emitter Q point:

KL : i - i - v - i - v - v β β 0 f : v ma f : mA 0 v 15 i β + 1 i β 0 [ntercept 1] [ntercept 2] Plot the D load line on the same plot as the transistor i-v characteristic. Note that the collector current is a linear function of the collector-emitter voltage. Only two points (the two intercepts shown as Points 1 and 2 on the plot) are required to plot a linear function. The D load line should pass through the Q point. The A load line can now be plotted. t will pass through the Q point as does the D load line; however, its intercepts cannot be directly determined. nstead, its slope will be determined. The slope and the Q point can then be used to plot the A load line. Slope A ma mA - 6 i v For A the capacitors act as short circuits. The bypass capacitor in parallel with the emitter resistor shorts out any A voltage across it. The collector coupling capacitor acts as a short and connects the load resistor to the circuit. However, no-load conditions are specified, i.e., the load current is zero or the load resistor is replaced by an open circuit. With no signal, the circuit operates at its Q point. When a signal is introduced, the operating point changes along the A load line as a function of the signal voltage. Unfortunately, the device i-v characteristic is plotted as a function of input (base) current instead of voltage. ut, there is the static characteristic that relates collector current to base-emitter voltage: i s e v T s e Q T + v be [ s e Q T ] e v be T Q e v be T i i β Q β e v be T Q e v be T The base-emitter signal voltage is related to the input signal voltage. At sufficiently high frequencies (the "mid"-frequency range) the capacitors can be modeled as short circuits for A. This means that there is no A voltage across either the A coupling (D blocking) capacitor or the capacitor bypassing the emitter resistor. Using superposition to sum only A voltages around the loop: 10.17

The intersection of the base current curves with the A load line give the corresponding values of the collector current and collector-emitter voltage (points 3, Q and 4 on the plot): ωt [rad] v i [m] i [µa] i [ma] v [] v o [] 0,π,2π π/ π/ The capacitor connecting the load to the circuit is a D blocking [and A coupling] capacitor. emember that for no load conditions, the load resistor is assumed to be open. Again using superposition to sum only A voltages around the loop and modeling the capacitors as shorts: - ve + vce + vc + vo 0 ve vc 0 vo vce v - Q The no-load voltage gain can be determined using the maximum excursion in the input and output voltages: A vo v v o ( 1.54) ( ) 3 3 ( ) ( ) i When the input voltage becomes more positive, the output voltage becomes more negative and vice versa. This is called "phase inversion" and is why the gain is negative. n normal amplification this is not important. f the loading effect of the load resistance is included, the A load line will be steeper and the gain will be reduced. b) A plot is a large number of calculated points plotted and connected by a smooth curve. n a sketch, only the most significant points [maxima, minima, intercepts, etc] are calculated, plotted, and connected by a carefully drawn smooth curve. c) The output waveform is very distorted, i.e., it is not a true linearly amplified copy of the input waveform. This is most obvious when the positive and negative peaks of the two curves are compared: nput voltage +10 m -10 m Output voltage The two peaks of the input voltage are equal; however, the positive peak is amplified less than the negative peak. The nonlinear (exponential) behavior of the transistor causes the amplification to be nonlinear and the output waveform to be very distorted. This is characteristic of large signal amplifiers. ven more serious distortion could occur if the input voltage (also called the "excitation" or "drive") were increased so that saturation or cutoff occurs. This causes "clipping" and a severely distorted output. v v 10.18
