Consider the circuit arrangement shown in Fig 14.16 (a) for studying input and output characteristics of n-p-n transistor in CE configuration.


Select the values of RB and RC for a transistor whose VBE = 0.7 V, so that the transistor is operating at point Q as shown in the characteristics shown in Fig. 14.16 (b).

Given that the input impedance of the transistor is very small and VCC = VBB = 16 V, also find the voltage gain and power gain of circuit making appropriate assumptions.

According to the problem at point Q, from graph V_{BE}=0.7V,V_{CC}=V_{BB}=16V and V_{CE}=8V

I_{C}=4mA=4\times 10^{-3}A\\ I_{B}=30\mu A=30\times 10^{-6}A\\ Since\: V_{CC}=I_{C}R_{C}+V_{CE}\\ R_{C}=\frac{V_{CC}-V_{CE}}{I_{C}}=\frac{16-8}{4 \times 10^{-3}}=\frac{8 \times 1000}{4}=2k\Omega\\ Similarly, V_{BB}=I_{B}R_{B}+V_{BE}\\ R_{B}=\frac{V_{BB}-V_{BE}}{I_{B}}=\frac{16-0.7}{30 \times 10^{-6}}=510 \times 10^{3}\Omega=510k\Omega\\ Current \: gain=\beta =\frac{I_{C}}{I_{B}}=\frac{4 \times 10^{-3}}{30 \times 10^{-6}}=133.3\\ Voltage \: gain=\beta =\frac{R_{C}}{R_{B}}=\frac{133 \times 2 \times 10^{3}}{510 \times 10^{3}}=0.52\\ Power \: gain=\beta \times voltage\: gain=133 \times 0.52=69
