Bjt Definition and 210 Threads

Hey guys, I am working on my lab with BJT with a Common Emitter Configuration. One of the steps asks me to measure the DC Operating Point, however I am not sure what they want. What I think they want is for us to find the point VCE where the slope of the collector current vs VCE intersects...

1. As compared to the circuit as shown in the figure, i applied KCL in the circuit and still couldn't get the right Ic current at the collector as shown in the simulation. 2. The IC current for XMM2 is 1.64mA but i got 22.12mA instead in my calculation. (I'm using the Ic=βIb where...

does bjt amplify dc signal? why or why not?

What is the BJT base current if the base is connected to a zener diode like in the circuit here - http://www.satcure-focus.com/tutor/page5.htm With a voltage divider it's thevenin's equivalent. But with zener, should I consider it as a voltage source?

Is there a way to minimize the temperature dependence of VBE. I am trying to design a BJT switch, that will turn on at a particular voltage(43v). ckt attached. The base sees 0.65v when Vcc is 43v or more (resistor divider bias). This turns on the BJT. It should be off when Vcc is 42V or...

Hello, I have a quick question about Characteristic curves. [PLAIN]http://pokit.org/get/1958a855486487230cd4e3c0a1cc0908.jpg First: Do these curves go to infinity, i mean in theory? If I had a steeper load line, I would hit saturation later. And what about that portion of load line between...

Hello, I am trying to figure out at some level(not fully) Hybrid PI model BJT. Only one thing bothers me. Does it matter if the v0 is + or -. Is for npn transistor v0 -ive and for pnp +ive? How do I figure that out and does it really matter, and if not why?

I am just wondering, how do we add an ideal BJT npn transistor to an LT Spice circuit? From the component button i have added an 'npn1' will the default values be ideal? And what if you want to change the beta for the transistor how do you do this. I found a file called standard bjt, it...

[FONT="Times New Roman"][SIZE="3"]When the NPN is in the forward active mode The base emitter junction is forward biased and the base collector junction is reverse biased. But isn't it possible for the base collector junction to break down? Or do we assume it never breaks down? Also does...

When using BJT as a pass element in series pass regulation, why is the NPN drop more than the PNP. Both have BE diodes. Why is the drop (VCEsat+VBE) in case of NPN and drop is equal to VCE sat in case of PNP. Can someone also explain VCE sat using diode equivalent of BJTs.

I can't understand an opamp circuit whenever there is an active element in the feedback loop. For example, in the current monitor ckt(attached). I don't understand how it works. I can't figure out how the opamp offset and BJT gain would affect the output. This ckt is from national semi AN31.

Who can explain what happens (in terms of electrons) what happens when base current is zero, especially why current flowing to collector is zero under this condition?

I don't understand the Vce voltage drop of a BJT. If I try to think of the BJT as 2 diodes - Base emitter diode and base collector diode. Vce is the voltage across the cathode of the base-collector diode and cathode of Base-emitter diode. How can it be 0.2V(when the BJT is saturated). I don't...

I've created a multistage amplifier in LTSpice IV and want to use actual measured hfe (Beta) values for each of the transistors, though I can't find an easy way to modify them. I could modify their library values in notepad, but I am using the same transistor model for a few of the stages and...

(This is not homework) Okay I'm writing a lab report and just writing some discussion. Also I am curious myself. I'm a junior in computer engineering. I want to discuss the differences between BJT and MOSFETs as amplifiers and anything like pros/cons for each. Also why is the BJT...

Hello, I had a basic analog electronics course this summer. Now that I'm trying to design my own circuit with a bipolar junction transistor (both for fun and to prepare for the future), I'm finding I don't really understand how and why I have to follow certain procedures to get maximum output...

Hi guys, I'm really confused as to what "Base-Emitter Voltage" is. I thought it was the voltage difference between the base and the emitter, but apparently it's no such thing? If you could explain it, that would be fantastic. The reason why I ask is I'm not sure if I'm going to blow up...

Hey folks, First time poster. I'll try to be as specific as possible. We have been working on our senior design project for one semester and we have a semester remaining. We came to a snag after being very successful with our design. Essentially, we're using an arduino deumilanove micro...

I'm utterly confused about this concept and the textbook quite efficiently confuses me further. I'll just try to explain it with an example: The circuit has a V(cc) = 10 V and V(ee) = -10 V. V(c) = 2 V, V(e) = -1.7 V, V(b) = -1 V, I(c) = 1 mA, I(e) = 1 mA. It says that allowable signal...

I was reading about IGBTs. They can handle much more power than Mosfets and BJTs. I thought Mosfet could handle more power than BJTs, since RDSon was munch lower than BJTs. Can someone explain why?

I just want detail information about BJT circuits

Can someone clarify the overall purpose and implications of biasing a BJT Class A amplifier? I just can't get my head wrapped around the entire purpose. As far as I know, biasing the circuit will place it in a certain operating region, but I don't know the limits/implications of doing this...

Hi, as mentioned in my previous thread, I'm currently busy with a 'small' project of translating an analog device (synthesizer, based on schematics) into a digital (software) version. I know 'nothing' about EE, I'm a Computer Science guy, so hopefully this question is not too easy :-) This...

I'm confused about how exactly the output resistance and other resistances are set up in the small signal model. Is this small signal model correct? Please regard underscores as a subscript. Is r_0 always connected between collector and emitter?

Iam sorry if it is a very basic question but iam unable to understand this if u take a common emitter configuration of npn transistor the emitter is common to both the input and output terminals and to operate in the active region 1. the emitter to base should be forward biased i.e n and p...

A bit awkward question but still it confuses me... A BJT is a current controlled device because its output characteristics are determined by the input current. A FET is voltage controlled device because its output characteristics are determined by the Field which depends on Voltage applied...
