BJT BIASING CIRCUIT
Trang 2Introduction – Biasing
The analysis or design of a transistor amplifier requires knowledge of both the
dc and ac response of the system In fact, the amplifier increases the strength
of a weak signal by transferring the energy from the applied DC source to the weak input ac signal The analysis or design of any electronic amplifier therefore has two components:
•The dc portion and
•The ac portion
During the design stage, the choice of parameters for the required dc levels will affect the ac response
What is biasing circuit?
Biasing: Application of dc voltages to establish a fixed level of current and
voltage
Trang 3Purpose of the DC biasing circuit
• To turn the device “ON”
• To place it in operation in the region of its characteristic where the device operates most linearly
•Proper biasing circuit which it operate in linear region and circuit
have centered Q-point or midpoint biased
•Improper biasing cause Improper biasing cause
•Distortion in the output signal
•Produce limited or clipped at output signal
Important basic relationship

A fixed bias circuit with given
values of VCC,RC and RB can be
analyzed ( means,
determining the values of IBQ,
ICQ and VCEQ) using the concept
of load line also.
Here the input loop KVL
equation is not used for the
purpose of analysis, instead,
the output characteristics of
the transistor used in the
given circuit and output loop

The addition of the emitter resistor to the dc bias of the BJT provides improved stability, that is, the dc bias currents and voltages remain closer to where they were set by the circuit when outside conditions, such as temperature, and
transistor beta, change
