10 Bipolar Junction Transistors NPN i b base PNP collector emitter i c = βi b i b i c BJT can operate in a linear mode (amplifier) or can operate as a digital switch. Current controlled device Two families: npn and pnp. BJT s are current controlled devices NPN 2N2222 PNP 2N2907 V CE ~30V, 500 mw power Spring 2017 Lecture 3 10

20 A large V A is desirable for high voltage gains ~ 30-50v. V A is determined by transistor design and varies with base width, base and collector doping concentration. Early effect: the rise of Ic due to basewidth modulation. (James) Early Voltage Spring 2017 Lecture 3 20

24 BJT Configurations Voltage Gain Current Gain Power Gain Common Emitter X X X Common Collector X X Common Base X X Common emitter: hgh input impedance, for general amplification of voltage, current and power from low power, high impedance sources. Common collector: aka "emitter follower" for high input impedance and current gain without voltage gain, as in an amplifier output stage. Common base: low input impedance for low impedance sources, for high frequency response. Grounding the base short circuits the Miller capacitance from collector to base and makes possible much higher frequency response Spring 2017 Lecture 3 24

38 Common Collector Emitter Follower Biasing 2 I Divider 15V 7.5 ma With 1 = 24kΩ, 2 = 16 kω, the current through the voltage divider is 15 [40 kω] = 375 µa. The 75 µa base current is 20% of 375 µa. 8.1 V 1 A B 1.0 k 2N ma With 1 = 2 kω, will need a divider current that is ~ 4.1 ma. (75 µa is only ~2% of 4.1 ma, which is negligible) The voltage drop across 2 will be [15 V 8.1 V] = 6.9 V; 2 = 1.7 kω But input impedance will be low = ~890Ω Use bootstrapping configuration = 24.4 kω (use 24 kω) Spring 2017 Lecture 3 38

39 Bootstrapping Higher Input Impedance The base is connected to the emitter through with 3 and C 2. At signal frequency, C 2 is a short so both ends of 3 are at the same voltage so no current flows. Therefore 1 and 2 cannot load the input. So 3 appears to be very high. In real life, there is a small AC voltage across 3. The AC current through 3 is kΩ = 1.1 µa. Horowitz and Hill Figure 2.65 esult: stiff biasing with high input resistance at signal frequency Spring 2017 Lecture 3 39

40 Our treatment of bipolar transistors is going to be quite different from that of many other books. It is a common practice to use the h-parameter (hybrid pi) model and equivalent circuit. In our opinion that is unnecessarily complicated and unintuitive... you also have the tendency to lose sight of which parameters of transistors behavior you can count on and more important, which ones can vary over large ranges.
