Chapter 17 Summary Bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) The BJT is a transistor with three regions and two pn junctions. The regions are named the emitter, the base, and the collector and each is connected to a lead. There are two types of BJTs – npn and pnp. B (Base) C (Collector) n p n Base-Collector junction B Base-Emitter junction E (Emitter) Electronics Fundamentals 8th edition Floyd/Buchla Separating the regions are two junctions.

Chapter 17 Summary BJT biasing For normal operation, the base-emitter junction is forwardbiased and the base collector junction is reverse-biased. For the pnp npn transistor, this condition requires that the base is more negative positive than thanthe theemitter and the and emitter collector the collector is more is more positive than negative thanthe thebase. base.

Chapter 17 Summary BJT currents A small base current (IB) is able to control a larger collector current (IC). Some important current relationships for a BJT are: IC IE IC IB I C α DC I E I C β DC I B IB I I IE I Electronics Fundamentals 8th edition Floyd/Buchla © 2010 Pearson Education, Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458.

Chapter 17 Summary Load lines A load line is an IV curve that represents the response of a circuit that is external to a specified load. For example, the load line for the Thevenin circuit can be found by calculating the two end points: the current with a shorted load, and the output voltage with no load. 2.0 k +12 V Electronics Fundamentals 8th edition Floyd/Buchla INL = 6.0 0 mA mA SL = VNL = 012VV SL = I (mA) 6 Load line 4 2 0 0 4 8 12 V (V) © 2010 Pearson Education, Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458.

For example, if the transistor is connected as a load, the transistor characteristic I (mA) curve and the base current establish the Q-point. 6 2.0 k 4 +12 V 2 0 Electronics Fundamentals 8th edition Floyd/Buchla 0 4 8 12 V (V) © 2010 Pearson Education, Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458.

Chapter 17 Summary Signal operation When a signal is applied to a transistor circuit, the output can have a larger amplitude because the small base current controls a larger collector current.

Chapter 17 Summary Input resistance of a CE amplifier The input resistance of a CE amplifier is an ac resistance that includes the bias resistors and the resistance of the emitter circuit as seen by the base. Because IB << IE, the emitter resistance appears to be much larger when viewed from the base circuit. The factor is (bac+1), which is approximately equal to bac. Using this approximation, Rin(tot) = R1||R2||bacre.

The value of re was found previously to be 10.8 . Thus, bacre = 2.16 k. VCC = +15 V Rin(tot) = R1||R2||bacre = 27 k||6.8 k||2.16 k = 1.55 k Notice that the input resistance of this configuration is dependent on the value of bac, which can vary.

Chapter 17 Summary CC amplifier In a common-collector amplifier, the input signal is applied to the base and the output is taken from the emitter. There is no voltage gain, but there is power gain. The output voltage is nearly the same as the input; there is no phase reversal as in the CE amplifier. The input resistance is larger than in the equivalent CE amplifier because the emitter resistor is not bypassed.

Chapter 17 Summary Class B amplifiers The class B amplifier is more efficient than the class A amplifier. It is widely used in power amplifiers. The amplifier shown uses complementary transistors – one is an npn and the other is a pnp. The bias method shown avoids cross-over distortion by bringing the transistors just above cutoff using diodes.

Chapter 17 Summary The BJT as a switch BJTs are used in switching applications when it is necessary to provide current drive to a load. VCC In switching applications, the transistor is either in cutoff or in saturation. In cutoff, the input voltage is too small to forward-bias the transistor. The output (collector) IIN = 0 voltage will be equal to VCC. When IIN is sufficient to saturate the transistor, the transistor acts like a closed switch. The output is near 0 V.

Chapter 17 Summary The FET The field-effect transistor (FET) is a voltage controlled device where gate voltage controls drain current. There are two types of FETs – the JFET and the MOSFET. JFETs have a conductive channel with a source and drain connection on the ends. Channel current is controlled by the gate voltage. G (Gate) The gate is always operated with reverse bias on the pn junction formed between the gate and the channel. As the reverse bias is increased, the channel current decreases.

Chapter 17 Summary The FET The MOSFET differs from the JFET in that it has an insulated gate instead of a pn junction between the gate and channel. Like JFETs, MOSFETs have a conductive channel with the source and drain connections on it. D (Drain) Channel current is controlled by the gate voltage. The required gate voltage depends on the type of MOSFET.

All Rights Reserved. Chapter 17 Summary The FET In addition to the channel designation, MOSFETs are subdivided into two types – depletion mode (D-mode) or enhancement mode (E-mode). The D-MOSFET has a physical channel which can be enhanced or depleted with bias. For this reason, the D-MOSFET can be operated with either negative bias (D-mode) or positive bias (E-mode). The E-mode MOSFET has no physical channel. It can only be operated with positive bias (Emode). Positive bias induces a channel and enables conduction as shown here with a p-channel device.

Chapter 17 Summary JFET biasing JFETs are depletion mode devices – they must be operated such that the gate-source junction is reverse biased. +VDD VDD The simplest way to bias a JFET is to use a small resistor is in series with the source and a high value resistor from the gate to ground. VG = 0 V The voltage drop across the source resistor essentially reverse biases RG the gate-source junction. Because of the reverse-biased junction, there is almost no current in RG. Thus, VG = 0 V.

Chapter 17 Summary D-MOSFET biasing D-MOSFETs can be operated in either depletion mode or in enhancement-mode. For this reason, they can be +VDD biased with various bias circuits. The simplest bias method for a DMOSFET is called zero bias. In this method, the source is connected directly to ground and the gate is connected to ground through a high value resistor. RD VG = 0 V RG Only n-channel D-MOSFETs are available, so this is the only type shown.

Chapter 17 Summary E-MOSFET biasing E-MOSFETs can use bias circuits similar to BJTs but larger value resistors are normally selected because of the very high input resistance. +VDD +V The bias voltage is normally set to make the gate more positive than the source by an amount exceeding VGS(th).

Chapter 17 Summary FET amplifiers FET amplifiers are voltage controlled and generally do not have as much gain or linearity as BJT amplifiers. The major advantage of FETs is high input resistance. The input resistance of a FET amplifier depends on the bias resistors. For the CS amplifier shown, Rin(tot) = RG because the gate-source resistance is a reverse biased pn junction. RG is made higher than the bias resistors in a BJT amplifier because of the negligible input current to the FET.

Chapter 17 Summary Transconductance An important parameter for FETs is the transconductance. Recall that conductance is the reciprocal of resistance, so from Ohm’s law: gm Id Vgs The prefix “trans” is added to indicate the current and voltage are not measured in the same circuit (gate and drain). For the common source amplifier, the drain current multiplied by the drain resistor is the output voltage. The voltage gain (ratio of output voltage to input voltage) can then be developed as Av Electronics Fundamentals 8th edition Floyd/Buchla Vout I d Rd gm Rd Vin Vgs © 2010 Pearson Education, Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458. All Rights Reserved. Chapter 17 Summary FET amplifiers If voltage gain is no required, the common-drain amplifier is a simple high input resistance amplifier. Although the voltage gain is less than 1, the power gain is high because of the high input resistance. The circuit shown has the advantage of only two resistors (RS represents the load). The output is smaller and in phase with the input. +VDD C RG RS Common-drain amplifier Electronics Fundamentals 8th edition Floyd/Buchla © 2010 Pearson Education, Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458.

A feedback oscillator uses positive feedback from the output to sustain oscillations. Conditions for oscillations are 1. The phase shift around the loop must be 0o. 2. The closed loop gain must be 1 (unity gain). Electronics Fundamentals 8th edition Floyd/Buchla Av Acl = AvB = 1 Feedback B circuit © 2010 Pearson Education, Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458.

The amplifier sections are nearly identical, but the LC feedback network is different. To obtain the required signal reinforcement (positive feedback), the amplifier inverts the signal (180o) and the feedback network shifts the phase another 180o.
