Introduction to concepts in dc bias circuit design of the amplifier (BJT CE amplifier design-Voltage divider bias ) Outline • Concept of faithful amplification •Identification of dc circuits • What is Q point? •How to measure and locate Q point? • Interpret location of Q point Concept of faithful amplification • The major goal of amplifier is to amplify applied input signal faithfully. • When is applied to the amplifier then different types of output waveforms are possible . Let us find out what are the possibilities Faithful amplification-key specification • The waveforms shown below are possible outputs of the amplifier • Can you decide which of the above waveform represents faithful amplification of applied input signal( )? • (click on the waveform to select answer) Look at upper part of waveform it is clipped which shows distortion in output waveform and output is not faithful amplification of input signal Try again • Look at lower part of waveform ,it is clipped which shows distortion in output waveform and output is not faithful amplification of input signal Try again Look at both lower and upper part of waveform ,it is clipped which shows distortion in output waveform and output is not faithful amplification of input signal Try again • You are right! This is perfect sine wave with no clippings at extremities and known as faithful amplification Go back to question Next Essential components to decide faithful amplification For BJT amplifier circuit faithful amplification can be predicted from a)Amplitude of input signal and dc bias circuit b)Dc bias circuit and ac circuit c)Ac circuit and amplitude of input signal • This combination of ac and dc circuit helps to decide only one parameter required to predict faithful amplification and thus not sufficient. Try again • For this combination, amplitude of input signal is partially useful to decide faithful amplification but not complete specification and ac circuit alone is not sufficient ,it needs dc circuit to decide other parameter required to predict faithful amplification. • Try again • You are right ! • Faithful amplification of the amplifier can be predicted from dc bias circuit and input signal amplitude. Go back to question Next Identification of dc circuits We will study effect of dc bias circuit on amplifier design Let us find what is dc bias circuit • For the given CE amplifier circuit identify which is appropriate dc circuit? Select option by clicking on the circuit below Vcc Vcc • In the selected circuit capacitors are present ,but for dc condition you need to open circuit capacitors and only resistors in the circuit will remain. Try again • You are right! . For dc condition all capacitors open circuited and only resistors in the circuit will remain. The circuit for dc conditions is Vcc Go back to question Next Dc circuit parameter Let us find what are important parameters of dc circuit to decide faithful amplification Q . Which of the following do you think is useful to predict faithful amplification? (click the box to select option) Value of βdc Resistor values Q point location • The values are helpful in calculating current and voltage values of the dc circuit but are not useful to predict faithful amplification Try again • You are right! Faithful amplification depends on location of Q point Go back to question Next How to locate Q point? • To locate Q point which of the following characteristics are important? Ic= Vcc/Rc+ RE a)Output characteristics b)Load Line Vcc c)Input characteristics • (Select options by clicking the buttons) Only a only b only c a&b both a & c both b&c both • You are right partially. One of the important characteristics to locate Q point is output characteristics ,but not sufficient to locate Q point. Select other options Input characteristics are useful to locate Q point partially (i.e. value of IBQ)but are not useful to find other values of Q point(VCEQ,ICQ ) Try again • You are right partially. One of the important characteristics to locate Q point is load line ,but not sufficient to locate Q point. Select other options • This combination cannot fix Q point since ,it is only set of characteristics . Try again • Load line is useful and with input characteristics it can locate only IBQ value .Other values(VCEQ and ICQ can not be calculated. Try again • You are right! you need both output characteristics and load line to locate Q point Go back to question Next Animation below will show how Q point is located • 1.To locate Q point we need to draw Output characteristics • Output characteristics –This is a set of IB8 = Collector Current( IC) Ic= Vcc/Rc+ RE Output characteristics characteristics . For each fixed value of base current(IB) the relation between collector to emitter voltage(VCE) and collector current(IC) is plotted . IB7= IB6= • 2.Superimpose load line on the output characteristics • Load Line—The line joining voltage Vcc and current Ic= Vcc/Rc+ RE IB5 = IB4 = IBQ Q point IB3 = IB2 = IB1 = 3.Mark IBQ characteristics IBQ—Base current of the given circuit Vcc under no signal condition. This is also known as dc bias current. IBQ characteristics are output characteristics for IBQ The point of intersection of IBQ characteristics and load line is “Qpoint” “Q point” is thus point on the load line representing dc bias conditions of the amplifier circuit Collector Current( IC) Find VCEQ and ICQ IB8 = Output characteristics IB7= IB6= IB5 = IB4 = Load line ICQ IBQ Q point Collector current under no signal condition also known as dc bias current(Q point current) VCEQ IB3 = IB2 = IB1 = Collector to emitter voltage under no signal condition also known as dc bias voltage(Q point voltage) How to measure Q point • To measure Q point, we measure value of base current ,collector current and collector voltage under dc conditions(no Connect signal condition). voltmeter here to measure VCEQ Connect ammeter here to measure ICQ currents IBQ VCEQ Locate Q point . Once we measure values of currents and voltage we can locate Q point by two methods In the first method we fix output characteristics for IBQ(measured value) then draw load line(by joiningVCC and Ic.) .Fix point as intersection of the two Collector Current( IC) IB8 = IB7= Ic= Vcc/Rc+ RE(4.08mA IB6= ) Q point IBQ IB5 = IB4 = IB3 = IB2 = IB1 = Vcc=20V In the second method we use VCEQ and ICQ values and load line as shown Ic= Vcc/Rc+ RE=4.08 mA Collector Current( IC) • ICQ IB8 = IB7= IB6= IB5 = Q point IB4 = IB3 = IB2 =IB1 = VCEQ Vcc=20V Interpretation of Q point • Once we locate Q point by any of the two methods ,we need to interpret the location of Q point. • First we will study different regions of load line which will help us in interpretation of Q point. • Remember load line is essential characteristics to locate and interpret Q point location. Collector Current( IC) 40 µA 4mA 30 µA 3mA 20 µA 2mA 10 µA 1mA In the output characteristics the region below(slashed) this point is cut off region(here both transistor junctions are reverse biased) and transistor is switched off VBE<0.7V Cut off region In the output characteristics the region beyond this point (slashed) is saturation region and transistor saturates(both junctions of transistor are forward biased) .Output current is constant and there is no relation between input and output current VCE=0.1V This diagram explains Important regions of load line Interpretation of Q point(contd) • In the process of interpretation of Q point • Second important aspect is how to draw output waveforms for applied input voltage for given location of Q point. • In the next slide Q point is already located and we will observe how can we draw output waveform?

It is important to decide Q point location near centre to get faithful amplification Practical value of VCEQ= Supply(VCC)/2(approx.) You can go back to find effect of Q point location Faithful amplification-key specification Look at upper part of waveform it is clipped which shows distortion in output waveform and output is not faithful amplification of input signal Explanatory feedback
