Bipolar Transistor Biasing • Biasing refers to the DC voltages applied to the transistor for it to turn on and operate in the forward active region, so that it can amplify the input AC signal

Three types of biasing • Fixed Bias Biasing Circuit • Biasing using Collector to Base Feedback Resistor • Voltage Divider Biasing Circuit
Biasing Circuits – Fixed Bias Biasing Circuit • The circuit is one of the simplest transistor circuits is known as fixed-bias biasing circuit. • There is a single dc power supply, and the quiescent base current is established through the resistor RB. • The coupling capacitor C1acts as an open circuit to dc, isolating the signal source from the base current. • Typical values of C1 are in the rage of 1 to 10 μF, although the actual value depends on the frequency range of interest.
Example – Fixed Bias Biasing Circuit Determine the following:(a) IB and IC(b) VCE(c) VB and VC NOTE: Proposed to use branch current equations and node voltages
Biasing using Collector to Base Feedback Resistor Find RB and RC such that IE = 1mA , VCE = 2.3 V, VCC = 10 V and b=100. IC + IB = IE IB IC IE NOTE: Proposed to use branch current equations and node voltages
Biasing using Collector to Base Feedback Resistor IE = 1mA , VCE = 2.3 V, VCC = 10 V and b=100. • (VC – VB ) / RB= IB • but VC = VCE • and VB = VBE = 0.7 V • (2.3 – 0.7) / RB = (IE / (b+1) • RB = 161.6 kW • (VCC – VC ) / RC = IE • RC = 7.7 kW VC VB
