- 2. Introduction of BJT: A bipolar junction transistor is a type of transistor that relies on the contact of two types of semiconductor for its operation. The name bipolar is adopted from its structure whereby it has ‘two junction’ and consist of three doped region. BJTs can be used as amplifiers, switches, or in oscillators. •BJT consists of three terminal: collector : C base : B emitter : E • Two types of BJT : pnp and npn
- 3. Transistor Construction • 3 layer semiconductor device consisting: • 2 n- and 1 p-type layers of material npn transistor • 2 p- and 1 n-type layers of material pnp transistor • The term bipolar reflects the fact that holes and electrons participate in the injection process into the oppositely polarized material • A single pn junction has two different types of bias: • forward bias • reverse bias • Thus, a two-pn-junction device has four types of bias.
- 4. Common-Base Configuration • Common-base terminology is derived from the fact that the : - base is common to both input and output of the configuration. - base is usually the terminal closest to or at ground potential. • All current directions will refer to conventional (hole) flow and the arrows in all electronic symbols have a direction defined by this convention. • Note that the applied biasing (voltage sources) are such as to establish current in the direction indicated for each branch.
- 6. Characteristics of Common Base: Configurations Common base Phase Angle Zero (0°) Input terminal Emitter Output terminal Collector Voltage gain High Current gain Low (ratio of collector current & emitter current) Power gain Low Input impedence Low Output impedence High
- 7. • To describe the behavior of common-base amplifiers requires two set of characteristics: - Input or driving point characteristics. - Output or collector characteristics • The output characteristics has 3 basic regions: - Active region –defined by the biasing arrangements - Cutoff region – region where the collector current is 0A - Saturation region- region of the characteristics to the left of VCB = 0V
- 9. Alpha(α): • In the dc mode the level of IC and IE due to the majority carriers are related by a quantity called alpha α= So, IC = αIE • For ac situations where the point of operation moves on the characteristics curve, an ac alpha defined by • Alpha a common base current gain factorcommon base current gain factor that shows the efficiency by calculating the current percent from current flow from emitter to collector.The value of α is typical from 0.9 ~ 0.998. E C I I E C I I ∆ ∆ =α
- 10. Biasing • Proper biasing CB configuration in active region by approximation IC ≈ IE (IB ≈ 0 uA)
- 11. Common-Emitter Configuration • It is called common-emitter configuration since : - emitter is common or reference to both input and output terminals. - emitter is usually the terminal closest to or at ground potential. • Almost amplifier design is using connection of CE due todue to the high gain for current and voltagethe high gain for current and voltage. • Two set of characteristics are necessary to describe the behavior for CE ;input (base terminal) and output (collector terminal) parameters.

- 14. Input characteristics for a common-emitter NPN transistorcommon-emitter NPN transistor • IB is microamperes compared to miliamperes of IC. • IB will flow when VBE > 0.7V for silicon and 0.3V for germanium • Before this value IB is very small and no IB. • Base-emitter junction is forward bias • Increasing VCE will reduce IB for different values.
- 15. Output characteristics for a common-emitter npn transistor: • For small VCE (VCE < VCESAT, IC increase linearly with increasing of VCE • VCE > VCESAT IC not totally depends on VCE constant IC • IB(uA) is very small compare to IC (mA). Small increase in IB cause big increase in IC • IB=0 A ICEO occur. • Noticing the value when IC=0A. There is still some value of current flows.

- 19. Common – Collector Configuration • Also called emitter-follower (EF). • It is called common-emitter configuration since both the signal source and the load share the collector terminal as a common connection point. • The output voltage is obtained at emitter terminal. • The input characteristic of common-collector configuration is similar with common-emitter. configuration. • Common-collector circuit configuration is provided with the load resistor connected from emitter to ground. • It is used primarily for impedance-matching purpose since it has high input impedance and low output impedance.
