Input Characteristics • Plot IB as f(VBE, VCE) • As VCE increases, more VBE required to turn the BE on so that IB>0. • Looks like a pn junction volt-ampere characteristic. ECE 442 Power Electronics
Output Characteristics • Plot IC as f(VCE, IB) • Cutoff region (off) • both BE and BC reverse biased • Active region • BE Forward biased • BC Reverse biased • Saturation region (on) • both BE and BC forward biased ECE 442 Power Electronics

Miller Effect (continued) ECE 442 Power Electronics
Miller Effect (continued) • Miller Capacitance, CMiller = Ccb(1 – A) • since A is usually negative (phase inversion), the Miller capacitance can be much greater than the capacitance Ccb • This capacitance must charge up to the base-emitter forward bias voltage, causing a delay time before any collector current flows. ECE 442 Power Electronics
Saturating a BJT • Normally apply more base current than needed to saturate the transistor • This results in charges being stored in the base region • To calculate the extra charge (saturating charge), determine the emitter current ECE 442 Power Electronics
The Saturating Charge • The saturating charge, Qs storage time constant of the transistor ECE 442 Power Electronics
Transistor Switching Times ECE 442 Power Electronics
Switching Times – turn on • Input voltage rises from 0 to V1 • Base current rises to IB1 • Collector current begins to rise after the delay time, td • Collector current rises to steady-state value ICS • This “rise time”, tr allows the Miller capacitance to charge to V1 • turn on time, ton = td + tr ECE 442 Power Electronics
Switching Times – turn off • Input voltage changes from V1 to –V2 • Base current changes to –IB2 • Base current remains at –IB2 until the Miller capacitance discharges to zero, storage time, ts • Base current falls to zero as Miller capacitance charges to –V2, fall time, tf • turn off time, toff = ts + tf ECE 442 Power Electronics
