Characteristic of PNP Tranistor in CE Configuration: Object: Apparatus Used

The document describes the process of drawing and studying the characteristic curves of a PNP transistor in common emitter configuration. It explains the four characteristic curves as: [1] input characteristic showing variation of input current (IB) with input voltage (VBE) at constant output voltage (VE), [2] output characteristic showing variation of output current (IC) with output voltage (VCE) at constant input current (IB), [3] forward current transfer characteristic showing variation of output current (IC) with input current (IB) at constant output voltage (VCB), and [4] reverse voltage transfer characteristic showing variation of input voltage (VBE) with output voltage (VCE) at constant input current (IB).

Characteristic of PNP Tranistor in CE configuration

Object: To draw and study the characteristic of PNP transistor in common emitter configuration.

Apparatus used: Transistor, variable DC source of range 0-3 volt and 0-15volts, voltmeter of
range 0-3 and 0-15volt, mili-ammeter, wires/leads.

Theory: There are four characteristic curves of transistor in common emitter configuration which
are defined as follows.

(1) Input characteristic: The variation of input current (IB) with input voltage (VBE) at
constant output voltage (VE) provides the input characteristics. Input resistance can be
obtained by this characteristic curve.
(2) Output characteristic: The variation of output current (IC) with output voltage (VCE) at
constant input current (IB) provides the output characteristics. Output admittance and
output resistance can be determined with help of this characteristic curve.
(3) Forward current transfer characteristic: The variation of output current (IC) with input
current (IB) at constant output voltage (VCB) provides the forward current transfer
characteristics. The slop of curve gives the DC current gain in CE configuration.
(4) Reverse voltage transfer characteristic: The variation of input voltage (VBE) with output
voltage (VCE) at constant input current (IB) provides the reverse voltage transfer
characteristics.
