Transistor Biasing

Transistor biasing provides the proper flow of zero signal collector current and maintains the correct collector-emitter voltage during signal passage. It is achieved by biasing the base-emitter junction forward while reverse biasing the collector-base junction, using a bias battery or circuit. Key methods of transistor biasing include the base resistor method, emitter bias method, biasing with a collector feedback resistor, and voltage divider bias method. The document also discusses transistor parameter stabilization and circuit analysis for the different biasing configurations.

Transistor Biasing

Transistor Biasing
The proper flow of zero signal collector
current and maintenance of proper
collector emitter voltage during the
passage of signal is known as transistor
biasing.
BE junc-FB while CB junc-RB during the
application of the signal, this can be
achieved with a bias battery or associating
a circuit with a transistor.
The Circuit which provides transistor
biasing is known as Biasing circuit

Stabilisation
The Ic in a
transistor changes
rapidly when,
Temperature
changes
The transistor is
replaced by another
of same type

The process of
making operating
point independent
of temperature
changes or
variations in
transistor
parameters is
known as
Stabilisation

Methods of Transistor
Biasing
The following are the most widely
used methods of obtaining transistor
biasing from one source of supply.
(Vcc):
Base resistor method
Emitter bias method
Biasing with collector feed back resistor
Voltage divider bias

Working
In all these methods same principle
is used, required value of base
current (and hence Ic) is obtained
from Vcc in the zero signal
conditions.
The value of Rc is selected keeping in
mind that Vce should not fall below
0.5V for Ge and 1V for Si transistors.

Base Resistor Method


A high resistance Rb is
connected between the
base and positive end
of supply for npn
transistor.
The base current is a
constant quantity
determined by supply
voltage Vcc and base
resistor Rb.
Bcz Vcc and Rb is
fixed,Ib remains
constant and hence it is
called Fixed Current
Bias

Circuit Analysis

Emitter Bias

Circuit Analysis
This circuit differs
from bas-bias
circuit in two
important aspects.
2 separate dc
voltage sources are
used
A resistor RE is
connected in the
emitter circuit

Biasing with Collector


Feedback Resistor

Voltage Divider Bias Method

Circuit Description
Two resistances R1 and R2 are connected
across the supply voltage Vcc and
provide biasing
The Emitter RE provides stabilization
Voltage divider formed by R1 and R2
The voltage drop across R2 forward
biases the base-emitter junction
This causes the base current and hence
the collector current flow in the zero
signal conditions
