Chapter 13 Small-Signal Modeling and Linear Amplification Chapter Goals Understanding of concepts related to: • Transistors as linear amplifiers • dc and ac equivalent circuits • Use of coupling and bypass capacitors to modify dc and ac equivalent circuits • Small-signal voltages and currents • Small-signal models for diodes and transistors • Identification of common-emitter amplifiers • Amplifier characteristics such as voltage gain, input and output resistances and linear signal range • Rule-of-thumb estimates for voltage gain of common-emitter amplifiers. Introduction to Amplifiers • The BJT is an an excellent amplifier when biased in the forward-active region. • The FET can be used as an amplifier if operated in the saturation region. • In these regions, the transistors can provide high voltage, current and power gains. • DC bias is provided to stabilize the operating point in the desired operation region. • The DC Q-point also determines – The small-signal parameters of the transistor – The voltage gain, input resistance, and output resistance – The maximum input and output signal amplitudes – The overall power consumption of the amplifier A Simple BJT Amplifier The BJT is biased in the forward active region by dc voltage sources VBE and VCC = 10 V. The DC Q-point is set at, (VCE, IC) = (5 V, 1.5 mA) with IB = 15 mA. Total base-emitter voltage is: v V v BE BE be Collector-emitter voltage is: v 10 i R CE C C This produces a load line. BJT Amplifier (continued) If changes in operating currents and voltages are small enough, then IC and VCE waveforms are undistorted replicas of the input signal. A small voltage change at the base causes a large voltage change at the collector. The voltage gain is given by: v˜ce 1.65180 ˜ 206180206 An 8 mV peak change in vBE gives a 5 Av ˜ v 0.0080 mA change in iB and a 0.5 mA change in be iC. The minus sign indicates a 1800 The 0.5 mA change in iC gives a 1.65 V phase shift between input and change in vCE . output signals. A Simple MOSFET Amplifier The MOSFET is biased in the saturation region by dc voltage sources VGS and VDS = 10 V. The DC Q-point is set at (VDS, IDS) = (4.8 V, 1.56 mA) with VGS = 3.5 V. Total gate-source voltage is: v V vgs GS GS A 1 V p-p change in vGS gives a 1.25 mA p-p change in iDS and a 4 V p-p change in vDS. Notice the characteristic non-linear I/O relationship compared to the BJT. A Practical BJT Amplifier using Coupling and Bypass Capacitors In a practical amplifier design, C1 and C3 are large coupling capacitors or dc blocking capacitors, their reactance (XC = |ZC| = 1/wC) at signal frequency is negligible. They are effective open circuits for the circuit when DC bias is considered. • AC coupling through capacitors is used to inject an ac input signal and extract the ac output signal without disturbing the DC Q-point • Capacitors provide negligible impedance at frequencies of interest and provide open circuits at dc. C2 is a bypass capacitor. It provides a low impedance path for ac current from emitter to ground. It effectively removes RE (required for good Q-point stability) from the circuit when ac signals are considered. DC and AC Analysis -- Application of Superposition • DC analysis: – Find the DC equivalent circuit by replacing all capacitors by open circuits and inductors (if any) by short circuits. – Find the DC Q-point from the equivalent circuit by using the appropriate large-signal transistor model. • AC analysis: – Find the AC equivalent circuit by replacing all capacitors by short circuits, inductors (if any) by open circuits, dc voltage sources by ground connections and dc current sources by open circuits. – Replace the transistor by its small-signal model (to be developed). – Use this equivalent circuit to analyze the AC characteristics of the amplifier. – Combine the results of dc and ac analysis (superposition) to yield the total voltages and currents in the circuit. DC Equivalent for the BJT Amplifier DC Equivalent Circuit • All capacitors in the original amplifier circuit are replaced by open circuits, disconnecting vI, RI, and R3 from the circuit and leaving RE intact. The the transistor Q will be replaced by its DC model. AC Equivalent for the BJT Amplifier • The coupling and bypass capacitors are replaced by short circuits. The DC voltage supplies are replaced with short circuits, which in this case connect to ground. AC Equivalent for the BJT Amplifier (continued) R R R 10k 30k B 1 2 R R R 4.3k100k C 3 • By combining parallel resistorsinto equivalent RB and R, the equivalent AC circuit above is constructed. Here, the transistor will be replaced by its equivalent small-signal AC model (to be developed). Hybrid-Pi Small-signal AC Model for the BJT • The hybrid-pi small-signal model is the intrinsic lowfrequency representation of the BJT. • The small-signal parameters are controlled by the Q-point and are independent of the geometry of the BJT.
