INTRODUCTION TO TRANSISTOR
BIASING
 Biasing is the process in which the external DC voltage
is applied along with appropriate resistor values to obtain
desired operating range
 Three modes of region (CE configuration)
 Active region
 Saturation region
 Cutoff region
OPERATING POINT OR Q POINT OR
OPERATING RANGE
 Any input signal applied is amplified and reproduce the
output accurately
 If the transistor is not biased properly, the operating point
sifts to cut-off or saturation region.
 Q-point is highly depends on VCE and IC

 +ive clipped(cutoff region), -ive clipped(saturation)


 Linear(Active region)
TWO OPERATING POINTS

•Input operating point

•Output operating point


 Input operating point

 VBB = VRB + VBE


 VBB = IB RB + VBE
 To find x coordinate,
make y coordinate as 0.
 IB = 0

 VBB = VBE (VBB, 0)


To find y coordinate,
make x coordinate as 0.
VBB = IB RB
 IB = VBB / RB (0, VBB / RB )
OUTPUT OPERATING POINT

• VCC = VRC + VCE


• VRC = IC RC
• VCC = IC RC + VCE
 To find x coordinate,
make y coordinate as 0.
 VCC = VCE (VCC, 0)

 To find y coordinate,
make x coordinate as 0.
 VCC = IC RC

 IC = VCC / RC (0, VCC / RC )


1. Determine the Q-point for the given circuit and draw the
DC load line. Assume β = 200.

 IC = 39.6 mA
 VCE = 6.93 V

 VBB = VRB + VBE


 VBB = IB RB + VBE
•VCC = VRC + VCE
•VRC = IC RC
•VCC = IC RC + VCE
THERMAL RUNAWAY
 The collector current equation for a CE amplifier is
 IC = β IB + ICO (1+ β)
 β, IB , ICO increases with increase in temperature. ICO doubles for
every 100 rise in temperature.
 The IC causes the collector base junction temperature to increase
which further increase ICO. As a result IC increases.
 This process becomes cumulative leading to a phenomenon called
thermal runaway and it may destroy the transistor.
 Overcome:
 Use heat sinks for temperature compensation
 The collector region is made larger to dissipate heat
STABILITY FACTORS (S, S’ AND S’’ )
 Stability factor is defined as the extent to which the
collector current (IC) is stabilized by variation of reverse
saturation current (ICO)
 S = δ IC / δ ICO or Δ IC / ΔICO

 Stability factor (S)


 It is defined as rate of change of I C with respect to ICO by

keeping β and IBE constant.


 d IC / d ICO VBE, β as constant
STABILITY FACTOR (S’ )
 It is defined as rate of change of IC with respect to VBE
by keeping β and ICO constant.
 d IC / d VBE ICO, β as constant

 Stability Factor (S’‘)


 It is defined as rate of change of I C with respect to VBE

by keeping β and ICO constant.


 d IC / d β ICO, VBE as constant
STABILITY FACTOR
TYPES OF TRANSISTOR BIASING
 Fixed Bias
 Emitter bias or Self bias

 Collector feedback bias

 Voltage divider bias


FIXED BIAS
 It is the most simplest bias configuration. Uses less no.
of components.
 Poor bias stability due to increased value of current gain
(β)
 It does not provide thermal stability. Output changes
randomly with increase in temperature.
 It is flexible and the operating point can be shifted
anywhere in the active region.
EMITTER BIAS OR SELF BIAS
CONFIGURATION
 It is similar to fixed bias configuration
 It includes a resistor RE to the emitter to improve

stability.
 The advantage of using RE : To avoid changes in the Q

point.
