    Why Is Emitter Bias More Stable Than Base Bias

    Uploaded by

    Emitter bias is more stable than base bias for three reasons: 1) Emitter bias does not depend on base-emitter voltage and has a gain of less than 1, preventing oscillation. 2) Base bias causes the operating point to change with temperature as the base current affects both collector current and voltage. 3) Emitter feedback bias uses the emitter resistor as feedback. If collector current increases due to temperature, the emitter voltage rises, lowering base current and stabilizing the operating point.

    Why is emitter bias more stable than base bias?

    An emitter bias is bias voltage applied to the emitter electrode of a transistor. Aside of having an
    emitter bias being independent of the BDC, an emitter bias has a gain of 1 or less than 1 means that that
    it can never oscillate because oscillation requires a positive feedback and a gain of greater than 1 to
    sustain oscillation. Having oscillation gives instability.

    Explain why the base bias Q-point changes with temperature.

    Base biasing circuit fixes the value of base current and as a result both IC and VCE(Q-point) are directly
    proportional to voltage gain. A biasing method should be designed to make the Q-point (IC and VCE)
    independent of transistor and insensitive to temperature problems. Using a negative feedback
    alleviates this. Example would be let say you have a BJT (base bias) that has parameters that IC
    increases by 9% per degree Celsius for a fixed VBE. That circuit works perfectly at 25 degrees Celsius but
    then at a temperature of 35 degrees Celsius IC will be roughly doubled which could cause the BJT to be
    in saturation.

    How does emitter-feedback bias improve on base bias?

    (Utilizing Thevenin equivalency of a voltage-divider biased transistor circuit)


    Using an emitter feedback bias utilizes RE (emitter resistor) as a tricky feedback. Suppose IC becomes
    larger than the designed value due to temperature then VE = (RE)(IE) will increase. Since VBB and RB do
    not change, (KVL) the BE loop shows that IB should decrease which will reduce IC back to its design
    value. If IC becomes smaller than its design value opposite happens, IB has to increase and will increase
    and stabilize IC. This feedback analysis shows that the Q-point is independent of BJT parameters: IE _ IC
    = _IB
