I don't know why. Maybe you made a mistake in simulation program.
yes Jony, i do it one more time and is now 0,68 Vac now smaller, of i have to change the emitter capacitor , because the value of capacitor i make 1000u, of transistor , which transistor you think to use do you know some type?
because input is 2mv*50gain=100MV
thnx for reply

The BC109C is a popular high gain general purpose transistor.

i will change now

i don't have that type of transistor

look my circuit, i don't know where i make mistake, normal gain have to be 50*2Mv=100mV Peak

It's not a very good design. For bias point stability (against VB and ß variations) you should allow a couple of volts across the emitter resistor; you have just 0.4V.

For maximum symmetrical output swing, you should allow approx as much voltage across RC as VCE. But you have ~1.8V and 7.8V, resp.

At what frequency are you measuring the ac gain?
 
No the design is good. Simply the BJT that michael1978 use in his simulation has a very low current gain.
Ie = 0.4V/220Ω = 1.8mA

And Ib = IR4 - IR5

IR4 = 1V/30K = 33.4μA

IR5 = (10V - 1V)/150kΩ = 9V/150KΩ = 60μA

So Ib = 60μA - 33.4μA = 26.6μA

And Hfe = β = (Ie/Ib - 1) = 66.6

And this circuit was design for Hfe > 420

so result is correct 66.6, for ib like this is formula for current Ir5-Ir4? is not the same for ir4 and ir5 they are in serie ir4 and ir5
but Jony you told Ve to be 1v why is now Ve 0.4V?
thnx for reply

66 is a BJT current gain, not a amplifier voltage gain.
So in order to make this circuit work properly. You need change the BJT that you use in your simulation program. You need to find the BJT with Hfe > 300 in your simulation.

ah 66 is current gain, so you mean to change type of transistor, but is possible for you to tell me any type of transistor which work, because there are a lot of type of transistor, and somebody he tell me one type of transistor but that transistor don't exist in my list of transistors
and yes Jony if you can tell me, i try to find self soms but i can't find it, that is the problem
thnx for reply
 
BC548C
What simulation program do yo use ?

BC548C

o joney i don't have, i have bc548A but not BC548C, i use B2 Spice A/V
 
hey Jony i try with bc548A, and i get voltage gain of 84mv is this correct?
 
Jony130 said:
Use BC547C
yes Joney i have that type i change, and now voltage gain is 94mv is correct now?
 
Well first you need to learn how to use the simulation program.
I use B2 Spice V5 and as a BJT use BC547C. And AC sweep analysis show that voltage gain is equal to 50.1V/V
For 20mV at input I get 1V at output.

but this was disegn for 10v battery not 12v
 
Well for Vcc = 10V the voltage gain is equal to 46V/V (0.9V at output for 20mV at input) because we don't included RL in our calculations when we solve for Re2.

my circuit look like this
 
If so, your voltage gain is equal to 46V/V
 
my circuit look like this , the voltage gain is correct almost the same like yours, but metter gain is not correct, WHY GAIN METTER NOT CORRECT

yes almost 2Mv*46=92MV my 94MV
 
Jony130 said:
So everything is OK

yes now, but can you tell me jony how to find in transistore HFE
because when you design this circuit

first you say
First we need select BJT I choose BC546C with typical hfe = 520 and Hfe_min = 420
and after
Ib = Ic/Hfe_min = 4mA/420 ≈ 10μA (base current)

how me to find me Hfe, you know which software i use
thnx for help
 
happy christmas to everybody,

jony can you help me for Hfe, i have to look in datasheet of i can look also in B2 spice?
 
You can use your simulation program to find Hfe or datasheet it's up to you.

so i have self to look in datasheet for transistor, because my simulator he tell me maximum of hfe but not a minimum of hfe

thnx for reply
