1 CLASS 5 BJT CONFIGURATIONS AND I V CHARACTERISTICS

2 CE is the most typical configuration used. For this configuration, the voltage gain, A v =V out /V i,ishigh.ahigha v means the amplifier is efficient. i The input impedance, Z i,and output t impedance, Z o of CE are also high. A high Z i is required to optimize the A v of a cascaded amplifier circuit. A high Z i is required to reduce the loading effect. CC (known also as emitter follower) has A v =1,ahighZ i and a low Z o. CC is typically employed as a buffer or impedance transformer. CB has high A v but smaller Z i. This configuration is used for high frequency of operation. CB amplifier can reduce the Miller effect. 2

3 BJT MODE OF OPERATION There are 4 modes of operation: 1. Active mode 2. Saturation mode 3. Cut-off mode 4. Inverted mode All the 4 modes are dependent on the biasing voltages, i.e. V EB and V BC. Active mode: Saturation mode: Cut-off mode: Inverted mode: E-B junction fb, B-C junction rb E-B junction fb, B-C junction fb E-B junction rb, B-C junction rb E-B junction rb, B-C junction fb 3

4 Junction polarity and minority carrier distribution for a pnp transistor in 4 different modes of operation. 4

5 Observations: 1. Saturation Mode Non-zero distribution of the minority carriers at the edges of both E- B and B-C depletion regions. P(W)=p n no e ( qv ) CB kt The bias voltage is small and the output current is large. The transistor is in the conducting state and function of the transistor is as a close (ON) switch. 2. Cut-off Mode P n (0) = P n (W) 0. The transistor functions as an open (OFF) switch. I E =I B =I C 0 3. Inverted Mode Known also as inverted active mode has C operating as E in the active mode and E operating as C in the active. The current gain for the inverted mode is normally lower than the active mode. This is because the emitter efficiency (in this case the C emits holes) is weaker since the doping of C is lower than the doping of B. 5

6 General equations for the currents in a BJT for all mode of operations: ( qv ) kt ( ) Dp EB qvcb kt p no DEn Eo qadp p no E = + W L E W I qa e 1 e 1 ( qv ) kt ( ) qadp EB qvcb kt p no Dp p no DCn Co C = 1 + W W L C I e qa e 1 Equations for the BJT currents in the active mode: ( ) ( ) qadppno qv EB kt qad qv EB EnEo kt E = + W L E qad ( qveb ) kt ppno qadcnco C = e + W LC I e e 1 I 6

7 INPUT AND OUTPUT U I-V VCHARACTERSITICSC CS Each BJT configuration has its own input and output I-V characteristics. From these characteristics, the appropriate voltages and currents that will enable the BJT to be operated as an amplifier (active mode) can be determined. The input and output characteristics acte cs of the BJTis different e for each configuration. Remember that to operate the BJT as an amplifier, the BJT has to be in the active mode i.e. E-B is fb and B-C is rb. 7

10 Observations: For an ideal transistor in the CE configuration, I C for a fixed I B is independent of V EC for V EC >V EC(sat). This condition is true if the effective width of the B is fixed. As the width of the depletion region in B of the B-C junction is dependent on V EC, the effective width of B will also be dependent on V EC. Therefore, I C will be dependent on V EC although V EC >V EC(sat). For a fixed I B and V EC >V EC(sat), I C when V EC. However, the increment is small when compared to the increment of I C with the increase in V EC when the transistor is in the saturation region. NORLAILI MOHD NOH 2009/

11 When V EC, B-C junction becomes more rb, depletion region of B-C junction, effective width of B. Less recombinationhappeninb(ortheslope of the hole density in B ), and therefore I C. The phenomena where I C when V EC is called the Early effect or base width modulation. NORLAILI MOHD NOH 2009/
