Introduction
For the transistor to properly operate it must be
biased. There are several methods to establish
the DC operating point.
We will discuss some of the methods used for
biasing transistors as well as troubleshooting
methods used for transistor bias circuits.

Biasing and the Three States of Operation
• Active or Linear Region Operation
Base–Emitter junction is forward biased
Base–Collector junction is reverse biased
• Cutoff Region Operation
Base–Emitter junction is reverse biased
• Saturation Region Operation
Base–Emitter junction is forward biased
Base–Collector junction is forward biased

The DC Operating Point
The goal of amplification in most cases is to increase the
amplitude of an ac signal without altering it.

The DC Operating Point
For a transistor circuit to amplify it must be properly biased
with dc voltages. The dc operating point between saturation
and cutoff is called the Q-point. The goal is to set the Q-point
such that that it does not go into saturation or cutoff when an a
ac signal is applied.

The DC Operating Point
Recall that the collector characteristic curves graphically show the
relationship of collector current and VCE for different base
currents. With the dc load line superimposed across the collector
curves for this particular transistor we see that 30 mA (IB = 300 A)
of collector current is best for maximum amplification, giving equal
amount above and below the Q-point. Note that this is three
different scenarios of collector current being viewed
simultaneously.

DMT 121/3 : ELECTRONIC I
The DC Operating Point
With a good Q-point established, let’s look at the effect a
superimposed ac voltage has on the circuit. Note the collector current
swings do not exceed the limits of operation (saturation and
cutoff). However, as you might already know, applying too much ac
voltage to the base would result in driving the collector current into
saturation or cutoff resulting in a distorted or clipped waveform.

Emitter Bias - summary
Adding RE to the emitter improves the stability of a
transistor.
Stability refers to a bias circuit in which the
currents and voltages will remain fairly
constant for a wide range of temperatures and
transistor Beta () values.

Voltage Divider Bias
• The most widely used type of bias circuit. Only one power supply is
needed and voltage-divider bias is more stable ( independent) than other
bias types.
• Two methods of analysis, exact and approximate analysis

Voltage Divider – FLOYD
If the base current is smaller than the current through
R2, the bias circuit can be viewed as a voltage divider
consisting of R1 and R2 – Fig (a).
If IB is not small enough to neglect compared to I2, then
must consider RIN(base) is in parallel with R2 ( Fig. (b)

Collector Feedback Bias (DC Bias with Voltage
Feedback)
• An improved level of stability can also be obtained by introducing a
feedback path from collector to base.
• If IC tries to increase, it drops more voltage across RC, thereby causing VC
to decrease. When VC decrease, there is a decrease voltage across RB,
which decrease IB. The decrease in IB produce less IC which in turn, drops
less voltage across RC and thus offsets the decrease in VC.
• These feedbacks keep the Q-point stable.

Summary
 The purpose of biasing is to establish a stable operating
point (Q-point).
 The Q-point is the best point for operation of a transistor
for a given collector current.
 The dc load line helps to establish the Q-point for a
given collector current.
 The linear region of a transistor is the region of
operation within saturation and cutoff.
42
Mohd Khairuddin B Md Arshad
DMT 121/3 : ELECTRONIC I
Summary
 Voltage-divider bias is most widely used because it is
stable and uses only one voltage supply
 Base bias is very unstable because it is  dependant.
 Emitter bias is stable but require two voltage supplies.
 Collector-back is relatively stable when compared to base
bias, but not as stable as voltage-divider bias.
