  3. npn BJT Operation • BJT in a common-emitter configuration in active region (VCE > VBE ~ .6V): The pn junction for VBE is forward biased and current iBE flows according to the Shockley equation: C +++++ n + VCE _ ----- B where VT .26 mV and IES ranges from 10-12 to 10-17. Electrons from the emitter flow into the base and are pulled into the depletion region of the reversed biased collector-base junction. + VBE _ iE (-) n E

  9. VCC Cout R1 RC Cin Rs RL R2 vs RE CE BJT Amplifier Once the DC operating point is set, the AC input and output are coupled to the amplifier with capacitors so as not to perturb the operating point.

  10. Rs B C iB + vin - iB + vout - RB r ro RC vs RL E BJT Amp Small-Signal Model Consider the capacitors as short circuits for the small signal AC and open circuit for DC to obtain the model below. The resistor ro accounts for the small slope of the I-V characteristics in the forward-active region (often assumed to be infinite). The resistance r is found from linearizing the nonlinear base-emitter characteristic, which is an exponential diode curve.

  11. Rs B C iB + vin - iB + vout - RB r ro RC vs RL E BJT Amp Small-Signal Model Determine the voltage gain. How would the emitter resistor affect the gain if it was not bypassed? RE replaces the short here!

  12. BJT Circuit Parameters How can  be found experimentally using the curve tracer? How can the input and output resistances be determined experimentally? How can voltage gain be determined experimentally?

  13. Taylor Series Recall that a function can be expressed as a polynomial through a Taylor Series expansion: where a is a point about which the function is expanded. Note that if a represents a quiescent point for a voltage, then the reciprocal of the coefficient first linear represents the small signal impedance.

  14. SPICE Example The amplifier circuit can be constructed in B2SPICE using the BJT npn (Q) part from the menu. The “edit simulation model” option can then be used to set the “ideal forward beta” The input can be set to a sinusoid at desired frequency and amplitude for a transient analysis. SPICE can also do a Fourier analysis to observed effects of clipping and distortion. There should be no harmonic energy for perfect amplification.

  15. SPICE Example Example circuit with meters to monitor input and output:

  16. SPICE Example Graphic output for .03 Vsine wave input (IVM1) at 10 kHz. Output is shown for meter IVM2. What would the gain of this amplifier be at 10 kHz?

  17. SPICE Example Fourier analysis of output. Frequency magnitude plot for output at meter IVM2. Where should the energy be in the frequency domain for this output?

  18. SPICE Example Graphic output for .08 Vsine wave input (IVM1) at 10 kHz. Output is show for meter IVM2. What would the gain of this amplifier be at 10 kHz?

  19. SPICE Example Fourier analysis of output. Frequency magnitude plot for output at meter IVM2. Where should the energy be in the frequency domain for this output?

  20. SPICE Example Graphic output for 1.2 Vsine wave input (IVM1) at 10 kHz. Output is show for meter IVM2. What would the gain of this amplifier be at 10 kHz?
