Transistors
•They are unidirectional current carrying devices with capability to
control the current flowing through them
• The switch current can be controlled by either current or voltage
• Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJT) control current by current
• Field Effect Transistors (FET) control current by voltage
•They can be used either as switches or as amplifiers

BJT  and 
•From the previous figure iE = iB + iC
•Define  = iC / iE
•Define  = iC / iB
•Then  = iC / (iE –iC) =  /(1- )
•Then iC =  iE ; iB = (1-) iE
•Typically   100 for small signal BJTs (BJTs that
handle low power) operating in active region (region
where BJTs work as amplifiers)

BJT in Active Region
Common Emitter(CE) Connection
• Called CE because emitter is common to both VBB and VCC
6
BJT in Active Region (2)
•Base Emitter junction is forward biased
•Base Collector junction is reverse biased
•For a particular iB, iC is independent of RCC
transistor is acting as current controlled current source (iC is
controlled by iB, and iC =  iB)
• Since the base emitter junction is forward biased, from Shockley
equation

Early Effect and Early Voltage
• As reverse-bias across collector-base junction increases, width of the
collector-base depletion layer increases and width of the base decreases
(base-width modulation).
• In a practical BJT, output characteristics have a positive slope in forwardactive region; collector current is not independent of vCE.
• Early effect: When output characteristics are extrapolated back to point of
zero iC, curves intersect (approximately) at a common point vCE = -VA
which lies between 15 V and 150 V. (VA is named the Early voltage)

BJT in Active Region (3)
•Normally the above equation is never used to calculate iC, iB
Since for all small signal transistors vBE  0.7. It is only
useful for deriving the small signal characteristics of the BJT.
•For example, for the CE connection, iB can be simply
calculated as,
VBB  VBE
iB 
R BB
or by drawing load line on the base –emitter side

BJT in Cutoff Region
•Under this condition iB= 0
•As a result iC becomes negligibly small
•Both base-emitter as well base-collector junctions may be reverse
biased
•Under this condition the BJT can be treated as an off switch
12
BJT in Saturation Region
•Under this condition iC / iB   in active region
•Both base emitter as well as base collector junctions are forward
biased
•VCE  0.2 V
•Under this condition the BJT can be treated as an on switch

BJT in Saturation Region (2)
•A BJT can enter saturation in the following ways (refer to
the CE circuit)
•For a particular value of iB, if we keep on increasing RCC
•For a particular value of RCC, if we keep on increasing iB
•For a particular value of iB, if we replace the transistor
with one with higher 

Then IC = IB= 400*40 A = 16000 A
and VCE = VCC-RCC* IC =10- 0.016*1000 = -6V(?)
But VCE cannot become negative (since current can flow only
from collector to emitter).
Hence the transistor is in saturation
18
BJT in Saturation Region – Example 3(2)
Hence VCE  0.2V
IC = (10 –0.2) /1 = 9.8 mA
Hence the operating  = 9.8 mA / 40 A = 245

BJT ‘Q’ Point (Bias Point)
•Q point means Quiescent or Operating point
• Very important for amplifiers because wrong ‘Q’ point
selection increases amplifier distortion
•Need to have a stable ‘Q’ point, meaning the the operating
point should not be sensitive to variation to temperature or
BJT , which can vary widely

Analysis of 4 Resistor Bias Circuit (2)
Applying KVL to the base-emitter circuit of the Thevenized
Equivalent form
VB - IB RB -VBE - IE RE = 0 (1)
Since IE = IB + IC = IB + IB= (1+ )IB (2)
Replacing IE by (1+ )IB in (1), we get
IB 
VB  VBE
R B  (1  )R E

If we design (1+ )RE  RB (say (1+ )RE  100RB)
Then

(for large ) (5)
Hence IC and IE become independent of !
Thus we can setup a Q-point independent of  which tends to
vary widely even within transistors of identical part number
(For example,  of 2N2222A, a NPN BJT can vary between
75 and 325 for IC = 1 mA and VCE = 10V)

• We know that
IE 

V EQ VBE  REQ I B
RE

V EQ VBE
RE
for
REQIB (V EQ VBE )
• This implies that IB << I2, so that I1 = I2. So base current doesn’t disturb
voltage divider action. Thus, Q-point is independent of base current as
well as current gain.
• Also, VEQ is designed to be large enough that small variations in the
assumed value of VBE won’t affect IE.
• Current in base voltage divider network is limited by choosing I2 ≤ IC/5.
This ensures that power dissipation in bias resistors is < 17 % of total
quiescent power consumed by circuit and I2 >> IB for > 50.
