Bipolar Junction Transistors (1) Dr. Wojciech Jadwisienczak EE314 Introduction Your goal is to explain the transistor. It is assumed that EE314 students to which this presentation is aimed, have not a clue to how these little Buggers work and/or how to use them. A real problem with previous explanations: for the sake of "fidelity" authors' include confusing details until the concept, or thread--of how they actually work & how to use them--is lost. The following presentation is comprised of several different explanations. You should read chapter 13 and this presentation several times, because any insight gained from one will help in understanding another. 1.History of BJT 2.First BJT 3.Basic symbols and features 4.A little bit of physics… 5.Currents in BJT’ 6.Basic configurations 7.Characteristics Chapter 13: Bipolar Junction Transistors pp. 584-624 First - BJTs The transistor was probably the most important invention of the 20th Century, and the story behind the invention is one of clashing egos and top secret research. Reference: Bell Labs Museum B. G. Streetman & S. Banerjee ‘Solid State Electronic Devices’, Prentice Hall 1999. Interesting story… Picture from previous slide shows the workbench of John Bardeen and Walter Brattain at Bell Laboratories. They were supposed to be doing fundamental research about crystal surfaces. The experimental results hadn't been very good, though, and there's a rumor that their boss, William Shockley, came near to canceling the project. But in 1947, working alone, they switched to using tremendously pure materials. It dawned on them that they could build the circuit in the picture. It was a working amplifier! John and Walter submitted a patent for the first working point contact transistor. Shockley was furious and took their work and invented the junction transistor and submitted a patent for it 9 days later. The three shared a Nobel Prize. Bardeen and Brattain continued in research (and Bardeen later won another Nobel). Shockley quit to start a semiconductor company in Palo Alto. It folded, but its staff went on to invent the integrated circuit (the "chip") and to found Intel Corporation. By 1960, all important computers used transistors for logic, and ferrite cores for memory.

Large-Signal dc Analysis: Active-Region Model Important: a current-controlled current source models the dependence of the collector current on the base current VCB reverse bias VBE forward bias ? ? The constrains for IB and VCE must be satisfy to keep BJT in the active-mode Large-Signal dc Analysis: Saturation-Region Model VCB forward bias VBE forward bias ? ? Large-Signal dc Analysis: Cutoff-Region Model VCB reverse bias VBE reverse bias ? ? If small forward-bias voltage of up to about 0.5 V are applied, the currents are often negligible and we use the cutoff-region model. Large-Signal dc Analysis: characteristics of an npn BJT Large-Signal dc Analysis Procedure: (1) select the operation mode of the BJT (2) use selected model for the device to solve the circuit and determine IC, IB, VBE, and VCE (3) check to see if the solution satisfies the constrains for the region, if so the analysis is done (4) if not, assume operation in a different region and repeat until a valid solution is found This procedure is very important in the analysis and design of the bias circuit for BJT amplifier. The objective of the bias circuit is to place the operating point in the active region. Bias point – it is important to select IC, IB, VBE, and VCE independent of the and operation temperature.
