Bipolar junction transistors (BJTs)
The BJT is a transistor with three regions and two pn
junctions. The regions are named the emitter, the base, and
the collector and each is connected to a lead.
There are two types of
BJTs – npn and pnp.

Load lines
A load line is an IV curve that represents the response of
a circuit that is external to a specified load.
For example, the load line for the
Thevenin circuit can be found by
calculating the two end points: the
current with a shorted load, and the
output voltage with no load.

Signal operation
When a signal is applied to a transistor circuit, the
output can have a larger amplitude because the small
base current controls a larger collector current.
For the load line and
characteristic curves from the last
example (Q-point shown) assume IB
varies between 5.0 mA and 15 mA
due to the input signal. What is the
change in the collector current?

Chapter 17
Input resistance of a CE amplifier
The input resistance of a CE amplifier is an ac resistance
that includes the bias resistors and the resistance of the
emitter circuit as seen by the base.
Because IB << IE, the emitter
resistance appears to be
much larger when viewed
from the base circuit. The
factor is (bac+1), which is
approximately equal to bac.
Using this approximation,
Rin(tot) = R1||R2||bacre.

Input resistance of a CE amplifier
Calculate the input resistance of the CE amplifier. The
transistor is a 2N3904 with an average bac of 200. The value of re
was found previously to be 10.8 . Thus, bacre = 2.16 k.
VCC = +15 V
Rin(tot) = R1||R2||bacre
= 27 k||6.8 k||2.16 k
= 1.55 k
Notice that the input resistance of
this configuration is dependent on
the value of bac, which can vary.

CC amplifier
In a common-collector amplifier, the input signal is
applied to the base and the output is taken from the
emitter. There is no voltage gain, but there is power gain.
The output voltage is nearly
the same as the input; there is
no phase reversal as in the
CE amplifier.
The input resistance is larger
than in the equivalent CE
amplifier because the emitter
resistor is not bypassed.

Class B amplifiers
The class B amplifier is more efficient than the class A
amplifier. It is widely used in power amplifiers.
The amplifier shown uses
complementary transistors – one is
an npn and the other is a pnp.
The bias method shown avoids
cross-over distortion by
bringing the transistors just
above cutoff using diodes.

The BJT as a switch
BJTs are used in switching applications when it is
necessary to provide current drive to a load.
VCC
In switching applications, the transistor
is either in cutoff or in saturation.
In cutoff, the input voltage is too
small to forward-bias the
transistor. The output (collector) IIN = 0
voltage will be equal to VCC.
When IIN is sufficient to saturate
the transistor, the transistor acts
like a closed switch. The output is
near 0 V.

Feedback oscillators
An oscillator is a circuit that generates a repetitive
waveform on its output. A feedback oscillator uses
positive feedback from the output to sustain oscillations.
Conditions for oscillations are
1.
The phase shift around the
loop must be 0o.
2.
The closed loop gain must
be 1 (unity gain).

Feedback oscillators
The Colpitts and Hartley oscillators are examples of a
feedback oscillator. The amplifier sections are nearly
identical, but the LC feedback network is different.
To obtain the required signal
reinforcement (positive
feedback), the amplifier
inverts the signal (180o) and
the feedback network shifts
the phase another 180o.
An additional capacitor is in
the amplifier to block dc.
