Lecture 2.2 Add-On: Miscellaneous Bias Solutions

This document provides examples and procedures for analyzing miscellaneous bias configurations in transistors that do not fall under common circuits. It discusses determining input and output values like currents and voltages. Example circuits given include common-base, common-collector, and a voltage divider design problem. The general procedure is to use the input side to find the input current, the output side to find the load line, and simplify using techniques like Thevenin's theorem if needed.

Miscellaneous Bias Configurations


Configurations not falling under the four common circuits discussed Procedure for analysis, though, is the same:
EE 21 Slides (AAMS)

Use the input side of the circuit to find an expression for the input current (aka controlling current) Find the load-line using the output side of the circuit Circuit simplification (such as Thvnins thm) may be applied if necessary.

Example 1: Common-base circuit

For the common-base circuit, determine the voltage VCB and the current IB. Assume =1.

Solution:
At input side:
At output side:

Example 2: Common-collector configuration

Finally, 44

Determine VCE and IE.

Solution:
For Ic: At the output circuit: Exact value of IE:

Transistor Network Design


Circuit design: Use appropriate relationships such as ohms law & doubly-subscripted voltage calculations. For voltage-divider circuit networks, the approximate analysis is used (recall design criteria). If multiple resistors are unknown, the 1 relationship is a good place to VE VCC start.
