PSPICE Demonstrations and Exercises (SET: 14)


Instructor: Dr. M. Bakr
Prepared by: Dr. M. Bakr and Anthony Bilinski
Objective: To learn and use the PSpice model and its parameters for Bipolar Junction Transistors(BJT).
To understand and explain the output and transfer characteristics of the BJT.
Example 1) Sketch the common-emitter output
characteristic for the npn Bipolar Junction transistor in the
shown circuit for IB=10A. Verify your result using a
simulation in PSpice. Vary the collector-emitter voltage
VCE between -5V and 10V with a step size of 10mV.
Perform this sweep for base currents IB ={10A, 30A,
50A}. Plot the resulting collector current waveforms. For
the BJT the saturation current is IS=0.1fA
The 0.2V value is an
assumed small voltage
range around 0V.

Collector Current ( A)

Analysis:
To determine the shape of the
output characteristic calculate the
collector current as a function of
the collector-emitter voltage VCE.
For VCE<0.2 (an assumed small
voltage). The transistor is
operating in the reverse-active
region. IE=-RIB=-50A.
IC=IE/R=-60A.
For -0.2<VCE<0.2V the transistor
is operating in the saturation
region and appears as a closed
switch with varying currents
maintaining IB+IC-IE=0. For
VCE>0.2 the transistor is
operating in the forward active
region. IC=FIB and
IE=IC/F=260A.
