Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) 1 Objectives • To understand the structure of BJT. • To explain and analyze the basic transistor circuits. • To use transistors as an amplifier and electronic switch. • To design the simple circuits using transistors. • To study transistor parameters from datasheet. 2 What is Transistor? • Invented in 1947 by John Bardeen, Walter Brattain and William Shockley • Hugh revolution in field of electronics • First solid-state device able to amplify electric signal • Universally used is Bipolar Junction Transistor(BJT) Transistor in 1947 3 Transistor Structure With diodes there is one p-n junction. With bipolar junction transistors (BJT), there are three layers and two p-n junctions.. 4 Conducting Current Direction 5 Basic Functions • Signal Amplifier • Electronic Switch 2 Types 6 Basic Operation Look at this one circuit as two separate circuits, the base-emitter(left side) circuit and the collector-emitter(right side) circuit. Note that the emitter leg serves as a conductor for both circuits. The amount of current flow in the base-emitter circuit controls the amount of current that flows in the collector circuit. Small changes in base-emitter current yields a large change in collector-current. 7 Transistor Characteristics and Parameters As previously discussed, base-emitter current changes yield large changes in collectoremitter current. The factor of this change is called beta(). = IC/IB Common Emitter Configuration The beta for a transistor is not always constant. Temperature and collector current both affect beta, not to mention the normal inconsistencies during the manufacture of the transistor. There are also maximum power ratings to consider. The data sheet provides information on these characteristics. 8 For proper operation, the base-emitter junction is forward-biased by VBB and conducts just like a diode. The collector-base junction is reverse biased by VCC and blocks current flow through it’s junction just like a diode. B-C Reverse biased Remember that current flow through the base-emitter junction will help establish the path for current flow from the collector to emitter. B-E Forward biased 9 There are three key dc voltages and three key dc currents to be considered. Note that these measurements are important for troubleshooting. IB: dc base current IE: dc emitter current IC: dc collector current VBE: dc voltage across base-emitter junction VCB: dc voltage across collector-base junction VCE: dc voltage from collector to emitter 10 Analysis of this transistor circuit to predict the dc voltages and currents requires use of Ohm’s law, Kirchhoff’s voltage law and the beta for the transistor. Application of these laws begins with the base circuit to determine the amount of base current. Using Kirchhoff’s voltage law, subtract the .7 VBE and the remaining voltage is dropped across RB. Determining the current for the base with this information is a matter of applying of Ohm’s law. IB = VRB/RB The collector current is determined by multiplying the base current by beta. What we ultimately determine by use of Kirchhoff’s voltage law for series circuits is that in the base circuit VBB is distributed across the base-emitter junction and RB in the base circuit. In the collector circuit we determine that VCC is distributed proportionally across RC and the transistor(VCE). Note. VBE = 0.7 will be used in most analysis examples. 11 Collector characteristic curves give a graphical illustration of the relationship of collector current and VCE with specified amounts of base current. With greater increases of VCC , VCE continues to increase until it reaches breakdown, but the current remains about the same in the linear region from .7V to the breakdown voltage. Transistor regions Flat IB VCE increased, Ic increased until B Curve shown for one fixed base current (IB) 13 Transistor Breakdown Voltage The breakdown voltage ratings of a transistor are the maximum voltages that a transistor can handle for each of its 3 junctions. If voltages are fed to the transistor exceeding this rating, the transistor can be destroyed. A datasheet for a transistor lists the breakdown voltage ratings for the emitter-base, collector-base, and collector-emitter junctions. For example, a 2N3904 small signal transistor has the following breakdown voltage ratings: VCBO =60Vdc VCEO =40Vdc VEBO =6Vdc The first 2 letters in the subscript indicate the two transistor terminals for which the voltage rating applies, and the third letter is in reference to the third unmentioned terminal which is left open. The first voltage, VCBO indicates the maximum allowable collector-to-base voltage with the emitter open. The second voltage, VCEO is the maximum allowable collector-emitter voltage with the base open. The voltage rating, VEBO is the maximum allowable emitter-base voltage with the collector open. Exceeding any of these voltages can destroy the transistor. Ref: http://www.learningaboutelectronics.com/Articles/Transistor-breakdown-voltage-ratings 14 16 Example Sketch the transistor characteristic curve for IB=5 uA to 25 uA with 5 uA increment Assume VCE does not exceed breakdown. 17 Cut-off Mode With no IB the transistor is in the cutoff region and just as the name implies there is practically no current flow in the collector part of the circuit. This results in only an extremely small leakage current(ICEO) in the collector circuit. With the transistor in a cutoff state the full VCC can be measured across the collector and emitter(VCE). 18 Saturation Mode Current flow in the collector part of the circuit is, as stated previously, determined by IB multiplied by . However, there is a limit to how much current can flow in the collector circuit regardless of additional increases in IB. Once this maximum is reached, the transistor is said to be in saturation. Note that saturation can be determined by application of Ohm’s law, IC(sat)=(VCC - VCE ) /RC . For Ideal case, the measured voltage across the now “shorted” collector and emitter(VCE) is 0V. The practical value is around 0.2V In saturation, an increase of base current has no effect on collector circuit and the relationship IC =.IB is no longer valid. Figure. Saturation: As IB increases due to increasing VBB, IC also increases and VCE decreases due to the increased voltage drop across RC. When the transistor reaches saturation, IC can increase no further regardless of further increase in IB. 19 Example • Determine whether or not the transistor is in saturation. Assume VCE(sat)=0.2V. 20 Example • From a given circuit, determine IB,IC,IE,VBE,VCE and VCB. The transistor has a DC =150. Assume VBE(ON)=0.7V and VCE(sat)=0.2V. 21 Transistor as Amplifier Amplification of a relatively small ac voltage can be had by placing the ac signal source in the base circuit. Recall that small changes in the base current circuit causes large changes in collector current circuit. The small ac voltage causes the base current to increase and decrease accordingly and with this small change in current the collector current will mimic the input only with greater amplitude. 22 Transistor as (Electronic)Switch A transistor when used as a switch is simply being biased so that it is in cutoff (switched off) or saturation (switched on). Remember that the VCE in cutoff is VCC and 0 V in saturation. 23 Electronic Switch • • • Electronic switch uses electrical control signal for operation. The electronic switch does not contain mechanical contacts but semiconductor devices such as bipolar junction transistors or field-effect transistors. For the design, input voltage should be selected such that the output is either completely off, or completely on i.e transistor works in saturation mode. A I C I B dc A Control voltage Ron Control voltage B Switch is open B Switch is closed I C sat VCC VCE sat RL 24 Application (as electronic switch) The LED in a given circuit requires 30mA to emit a sufficient light. Determine the amplitude of square wave necessary to make sure the LED emit sufficient Light. Use double the minimum value of base current as a safety margin to ensure saturation. VCC=9V,VCE(SAT)=0.3V, RC=220Ω , RB=3.3kΩ, DC = 50, and VLED=1.6V. 25 Application (driving relay) From a relay driving circuit below, assume relay coil resistance = 250 Ohms, VDC = 12 V, DC current gain of transistor = 100 and VCE(SAT) = 0.1 V. Vin is 0-5 V.

Determine whether or not the transistor is saturated in each circuit based on the maximum specific value of hFE . 32 Hint for hFE Selection The datasheet shows that the hFE can not be specified precisely by the manufacturer, because it varies very much between transistors and with electrical and thermal conditions. However, it is possible to get an approximated value. Students can start with the roughly calculation of Ic. For example, if Ic =20mA, we can take an intermediate value between the hFE for Ic =2mA (500) and the hFE for Ic =100mA (400), so let's take hFE =450. 34 Example • Determine IB,IC,IE and DC . 35 Example • Find VCE,VBE,VCB in both circuits. 36 Testing Transistors Testing a transistor can be viewed more simply if you view it as testing two diode junctions. Forward bias having low resistance and reverse bias having infinite resistance. 37 The diode test function of a multimeter is more reliable than using an ohmmeter. Make sure to note whether it is an npn or pnp and polarize the test leads accordingly. In addition to the traditional DMMs there are also transistor testers. Some of these have the ability to test other parameters of the transistor, such as leakage and gain. Curve tracers give us even more detailed information about a transistors characteristics. 38 Conclusions The bipolar junction transistor (BJT) is constructed of three regions: base, collector, and emitter. The BJT has two pn junctions, the base-emitter junction and the base-collector junction. The two types of transistors are pnp and npn. For the BJT to operate as an amplifier, the base-emitter junction is forward-biased and the collector-base junction is reverse-biased. Of the three currents IB is very small in comparison to IE and IC. Beta is the current gain of a transistor. This the ratio of IC/IB. A transistor can be operated as an electronics switch. When the transistor is off it is in cutoff condition (no current). When the transistor is on, it is in saturation condition (maximum current). Beta can vary with temperature and also varies from transistor to transistor. 39 Supplement 40 Relays • A relay is an electrically operated switch. Current flowing through the coil of the relay creates a magnetic field which attracts a lever and changes the switch contacts. The coil current can be on or off so relays have two switch positions and they are double throw (changeover) switches. Symbol SPDT Relays DPDT Relays 41 42 Solid State Relays(SSRs) • • • • Solid state relay (SSR) is a solid state electronic component that provides a similar function to an electromechanical relay but does not have any moving components, increasing long-term reliability. have become commercially available. The types of SSR are photo-coupled SSR, transformer-coupled SSR, and hybrid SSR. A photo-coupled SSR is controlled by a low voltage signal which is isolated optically from the load. The control signal in a photo-coupled SSR typically energizes an LED which activates a photo-sensitive diode. The diode turns on switching devices i.e. a back-to-back thyristor, silicon controlled rectifier, or MOSFET transistor to power on the load. Control input can be AC,DC, 4-20 mA, etc Adv: fast, smaller,lifetime Disadv: false triggering, expensive 43 Isolated drive circuit • For a safety consideration, an isolation between control circuit(low voltage, i.e. 5V triggering pulse) and power circuit(high voltage, i.e. 220V-few kV power plant) is very necessary. The isolation circuit prevents a damage of expensive devices used in control part. The isolation circuit can be implemented by Optoisolator and Transformer.
