    This document provides an overview of BJT biasing circuits. It describes the three operating modes of a BJT - cutoff, active, and saturation - and shows the equivalent dc circuits for each. Four common single-supply BJT biasing circuits are presented: without feedback, emitter feedback, collector feedback, and voltage divider. The prelab instructions ask students to design these four biasing circuits using general purpose and power transistors to achieve specific operating points, and simulate the designs to determine the operating points. Students are instructed to bring their simulation results to the lab.

    The Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) is a nonlinear three terminal device with
    following dc models:

    a) Cutoff mode: VBE < VF, IB=0, IC=0

    b) Active mode: VBE ≥ VF, VCE ≥ VCESAT, IC=ßFIB+ICEO


    (ICEO is usually negligibly small)

    c) Saturation mode: VBE ≥ VF, VCE = VCESAT, IC < ßFIB


    IC is determined by the external circuit.

    Figure1: NPN BJT dc equivalent circuits: a) Cutoff mode b)Active mode


    c)Saturation mode. For PNP BJT circuits, currents and voltages
    change directions

    In analog circuits, the BJT is operated in the active mode. For this purpose a
    biasing circuit is employed. Figure (2) has various biasing circuits that use only one
    power supply.

    The bias circuit without feedback is the simplest of all: The base current of the BJT
    is set by the resistor RB. In the design, RB is set to be (VCC-VBE)/IB.

    For the emitter feedback bias circuit, the resistor RE causes negative feedback and
    reduces the changes in the operating point.
    In the collector feedback bias circuit, the resistor RC has essentially the same effect
    as the RE in the emitter feedback bias circuit.

    The most common and stable circuit among single source biasing circuits is the
    voltage divider biasing circuit. In this circuit, the current in the resistors R1 and R2 is
    set to a value more than 10 times the base current. This keeps the voltage drop
    caused by the base current on these resistors negligibly small. Hence, the voltage
    divider formed by R1 and R2 is considered as an independent voltage source to set
    the voltage at the base of BJT. The resistor RE provides negative feedback and sets
    the emitter current.

    The operating point of a transistor in a circuit depends not only on the voltage
    sources and resistors, but also on VF, ßF and ICO of the transistor. The BJT
    parameters may vary due to production line spread or temperature. As the variation
    of these parameters will affect the operating point, the stability of the operating
    point should be considered during the bias circuit design. To observe this variation,
    the following stability factors should be investigated:

    PRE-LAB

    1) Learn the ßF values of the transistors and use these values in your design.
    2) For the general purpose transistor, design 4 bias circuits that are given above
    so that IC=1mA and VCE=3 V.
    3) Determine the operating point (IC and VCE) for each circuit you have designed
    by using PSpice simulation program.
    4) Replace general purpose transistor with the power transistor and determine
    the operating point in each circuit.

    Important notes:

    1) Those who did not do the prelab will not be accepted to the lab. You must do
    first two design(a and b) until 07.04.2010 and bring your simulation prints to the
    lab. The rest two will be used on 14.04.2010, so you can bring c and d at that date.
    2) Bring the transistors with you. You have to buy the transistors beforehand.
    3) You will be using your own design in the lab.
