  1. Transistor/switch/amplifier – a 3 terminal device Incoherent Light Artery Vein Source Coherent Light Valve Gate Gain medium Drain Heart Laser Dam Emitter Collector Ion Channel Base MOSFET Axonal conduction BJT ECE 663

  2. All of these share a feature with… • Output current can toggle between large and small • (Switching  Digital logic; create 0s and 1s) • Small change in ‘valve’ (3rd terminal) creates Large • change in output between 1st and 2nd terminal • (Amplification  Analog applications; Turn 0.5  50)

  3. Example: BJT common emitter characteristics Gain = 300

  5. Aim of this chapter • How can we get ‘Gain’? • What is the structure of the device to get gain? • What is the equation for gain? • How can we use this equation to maximize gain? • How can we model this device as a circuit element? • What are its AC characteristics and speed?

  6. Recall p-n junction P N N P W W + - - + Vappl < 0 Vappl > 0 Forward bias, + on P, - on N (Shrink W, Vbi) Allow holes to jump over barrier into N region as minority carriers Reverse bias, + on N, - on P (Expand W, Vbi) Remove holes and electrons away from depletion region I I V V

  7. So if we combine these by fusing their terminals… P N N P W W + - - + Vappl < 0 Vappl > 0 • Holes from P region (“Emitter”) of 1st PN junction • driven by FB of 1st PN junction into central N region (“Base”) • Driven by RB of 2nd PN junction from Base into P region of • 2nd junction (“Collector”) • 1st region FB, 2nd RB • If we want to worry about holes alone, need P+ on 1st region • For holes to be removed by collector, base region must be thin

  8. Bipolar Junction Transistors: Basics - + IC IE + - IB IE = IB + IC ………(KCL) VEC = VEB + VBC ……… (KVL)

  22. Common Base DC current gain - PNP Common Base – Active Bias mode: IC = aDCIE + ICB0 ICp = aTIEp = aTgIE aDC = aTg IC = aTgIE + ICn ECE 663

  23. Common Emitter DC current gain - PNP Common Emitter – Active Bias mode: IC IB IE = bDCIB + ICE0 IE bDC = aDC /(1-aDC) IC = aDCIE + ICB0 = aDC(IC + IB) + ICB0 GAIN !! IC = aDCIB + ICB0 1-aDC ECE 663
