Small Signal ModelPNP Transistor Section 4.4
BJT in the active region Electrons cross the forward biased BE junction and are swept reverse biased BC junction.
Large Signal Model of a BJT Called “large” signal model because this model is applicable even if VBE changes from 300 mV to 800 mV
Transconductance If a signal changes the base-emitter voltage by a small amount, how much change is produced in the collector current?
But there is something else…. A change in VBE creates a change in base current!
Example 4.10 Signal Generated By a microphone Small Signal Equivalent Circuit VBE=800 mV β=100 IS,Q1=3 x 10-16 A Question: If a microphone generates a 1 mV signal, how much change is observed in the collector and base current?
A Simple Amplifier Determine the output signal level if the microphone produces a 1 mV signal.
AC Ground • The voltage produced by a voltage source is constant. • The small signal model is concerned only with changes in quantities. • Therefore, a DC voltage source must be replaced with a ground in small signal analysis.
Early Effect A larger reverse bias voltage leads to a larger BC depletion region. The effective base width (WB) is reduced. The slope of the electron profile increases. IC increases as VCE is increased.
Assumption • Assume that • The DC at Vout is 0.9 V • gm=1 mS Gain is approximately equal to –gmRC. Bias current is IC=gmVt R=(1.8V-0.9V)/26uA=34.6 Kohms Gain is -34.6.

Structures of BJT Transistors (NPN transistor) (PNP transistor)
Voltage and Current Polarities of NPN and PNP transistors A “fat” voltage between collector and emitter voltage places a transistor in the active region! A “skinny” voltage between collector and emitter voltage places a transistor in the active region!
