  • PH-218 Lec-12: Frequency Response of BJT Amplifiers
    Analog & Digital Electronics Course No: PH-218 Lec-12: Frequency Response of BJT Amplifiers Course Instructors: Dr. A. P. VAJPEYI Department of Physics, Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, India 1 High frequency Response of CE Amplifier At high frequencies, internal transistor junction capacitances do come into play, reducing an amplifier's gain and introducing phase shift as the signal frequency increases. In BJT, C be is the B-E junction capacitance, and C bc is the B-C junction capacitance. (output to input capacitance) At lower frequencies, the internal capacitances have a very high reactance because of their low capacitance value (usually only a few pf) and the low frequency value. Therefore, they look like opens and have no effect on the transistor's performance. As the frequency goes up, the internal capacitive reactance's go down, and at some point they begin to have a significant effect on the transistor's gain. High frequency Response of CE Amplifier When the reactance of C be becomes small enough, a significant amount of the signal voltage is lost due to a voltage-divider effect of the source resistance and the reactance of C be . When the reactance of Cbc becomes small enough, a significant amount of output signal voltage is fed back out of phase with the input (negative feedback), thus effectively reducing the voltage gain. 3 Millers Theorem The Miller effect occurs only in inverting amplifiers –it is the inverting gain that magnifies the feedback capacitance. vin − (−Av in ) iin = = vin 1( + A)× 2π × f ×CF X C Here C F represents C bc vin 1 1 Zin = = = iin 1( + A)× 2π × f ×CF 2π × f ×Cin 1( ) Cin = + A ×CF 4 High frequency Response of CE Amp.: Millers Theorem Miller's theorem is used to simplify the analysis of inverting amplifiers at high-frequencies where the internal transistor capacitances are important.

  • Cascode Amplifiers by Dennis L. Feucht Two-Transistor Combinations
    Cascode Amplifiers by Dennis L. Feucht Two-transistor combinations, such as the Darlington configuration, provide advantages over single-transistor amplifier stages. Another two-transistor combination in the analog designer's circuit library combines a common-emitter (CE) input configuration with a common-base (CB) output. This article presents the design equations for the basic cascode amplifier and then offers other useful variations. (FETs instead of BJTs can also be used to form cascode amplifiers.) Together, the two transistors overcome some of the performance limitations of either the CE or CB configurations. Basic Cascode Stage The basic cascode amplifier consists of an input common-emitter (CE) configuration driving an output common-base (CB), as shown above. The voltage gain is, by the transresistance method, the ratio of the resistance across which the output voltage is developed by the common input-output loop current over the resistance across which the input voltage generates that current, modified by the α current losses in the transistors: v R A = out = −α ⋅α ⋅ L v 1 2 β + + + vin RB /( 1 1) re1 RE where re1 is Q1 dynamic emitter resistance. This gain is identical for a CE amplifier except for the additional α2 loss of Q2. The advantage of the cascode is that when the output resistance, ro, of Q2 is included, the CB incremental output resistance is higher than for the CE. For a bipolar junction transistor (BJT), this may be insignificant at low frequencies. The CB isolates the collector-base capacitance, Cbc (or Cµ of the hybrid-π BJT model), from the input by returning it to a dynamic ground at VB.

  • ECE 255, MOSFET Basic Configurations
    ECE 255, MOSFET Basic Configurations 8 March 2018 In this lecture, we will go back to Section 7.3, and the basic configurations of MOSFET amplifiers will be studied similar to that of BJT. Previously, it has been shown that with the transistor DC biased at the appropriate point (Q point or operating point), linear relations can be derived between the small voltage signal and current signal. We will continue this analysis with MOSFETs, starting with the common-source amplifier. 1 Common-Source (CS) Amplifier The common-source (CS) amplifier for MOSFET is the analogue of the common- emitter amplifier for BJT. Its popularity arises from its high gain, and that by cascading a number of them, larger amplification of the signal can be achieved. 1.1 Chararacteristic Parameters of the CS Amplifier Figure 1(a) shows the small-signal model for the common-source amplifier. Here, RD is considered part of the amplifier and is the resistance that one measures between the drain and the ground. The small-signal model can be replaced by its hybrid-π model as shown in Figure 1(b). Then the current induced in the output port is i = −gmvgs as indicated by the current source. Thus vo = −gmvgsRD (1.1) By inspection, one sees that Rin = 1; vi = vsig; vgs = vi (1.2) Thus the open-circuit voltage gain is vo Avo = = −gmRD (1.3) vi Printed on March 14, 2018 at 10 : 48: W.C.

  • Dynamic Microphone Amplifier
    Dynamic Microphone Preamp Description: A low noise pre-amplifier suitable for amplifying dynamic microphones with 200 to 600 ohm output impedance. Notes: This is a 3 stage discrete amplifier with gain control. Alternative transistors such as BC109C, BC548, BC549, BC549C may be used with little change in performance. The first stage built around Q1 operates in common base configuration. This is unusuable in audio stages, but in this case, it allows Q1 to operate at low noise levels and improves overall signal to noise ratio. Q2 and Q3 form a direct coupled amplifier, similar to my earlier mic preamp . Input and Output Impedance: As the signal from a dynamic microphone is low typically much less than 10mV, then there is little to be gained by setting the collector voltage voltage of Q1 to half the supply voltage. In power amplifiers, biasing to half the supply voltage allows for maximum voltage swing, and highest overload margin, but where input levels are low, any value in the linear part of the operating characteristics will suffice. Here Q1 operates with a collector voltage of 2.4V and a low collector current of around 200uA. This low collector current ensures low noise performance and also raises the input impedance of the stage to around 400 ohms. This is a good match for any dynamic microphone having an impedances between 200 and 600 ohms. The output impedance at Q3 is low, the graph of input and output impedance versus frequency is shown below: Gain and Frequency Response: The overall gain of this pre-amplifier is around +39dB or about 90 times.

  • High-Frequency Amplifier Response
    Section H5: High-Frequency Amplifier Response Now that we’ve got a high frequency models for the BJT, we can analyze the high frequency response of our basic amplifier configurations. Note: in the circuits that follow, the actual signal source (vS) and its associated source resistance (RS) have been included. As discussed in the low frequency response section of our studies, we always knew that this source and resistance was there but we just started our investigations with the input to the transistor (vin). Remember - the analysis process is the same and the relationship between vS and vin is a voltage divider! Again, in some instances in the following discussion, I will be using slightly different notation and taking a different approach than your author. As usual, if this results in confusion, or you are more comfortable with his technique, let me know and we’ll work it out. High Frequency Response of the CE and ER Amplifier The generic common-emitter amplifier circuit of Section D2 is reproduced to the left below and the small signal circuit using the high frequency BJT model is given below right (based on Figures 10.17a and 10.17b of your text). Note that all external capacitors are assumed to be short circuits at high frequencies and are not present in the high frequency equivalent circuit (since the external capacitors are large when compared to the internal capacitances – recall that Zc=1/jωC gets small as the frequency or capacitance gets large). We can simplify the small signal circuit by making the following observations and approximations: ¾ Cce is very small and may be neglected.

Proprietary and Confidential. All rights reserved. An Altair Company Common Gate Amplifier A common-gate amplifier is one of three basic single-stage field-effect transistor (FET) amplifier topologies, typically used as a current buffer or voltage amplifier. In the circuit the source terminal of the transistor serves as the input, the drain is the output and the gate is connected to ground, or common, hence its name. The analogous bipolar junction transistor circuit is the common-base amplifier. Input signal is applied to the source, output is taken from the drain. current gain is about unity, input resistance is low, output resistance is high a CG stage is a current buffer. It takes a current at the input that may have a relatively small Norton equivalent resistance and replicates it at the output port, which is a good current source due to the high output resistance. • ACTIVATE solidThinking © 2017 solidThinking, Inc.

  • The Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT)
    The Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) Introduction he transistor, derived from transfer resistor, is a three terminal device whose resistance between two terminals is controlled by the third. The term bipolar reflects the fact that T there are two types of carriers, holes and electrons which form the currents in the transistor. If only one carrier is employed (electron or hole), it is considered a unipolar device like field effect transistor (FET). The transistor is constructed with three doped semiconductor regions separated by two pn junctions. The three regions are called Emitter (E), Base (B), and Collector (C). Physical representations of the two types of BJTs are shown in Figure (1–1). One type consists of two n -regions separated by a p-region (npn), and the other type consists of two p-regions separated by an n- region (pnp). Figure (1-1) Transistor Basic Structure The outer layers have widths much greater than the sandwiched p– or n–type layer. The doping of the sandwiched layer is also considerably less than that of the outer layers (typically, 10:1 or less). This lower doping level decreases the conductivity of the base (increases the resistance) due to the limited number of “free” carriers. Figure (1-2) shows the schematic symbols for the npn and pnp transistors 1 College of Electronics Engineering - Communication Engineering Dept. Figure (1-2) standard transistor symbol Transistor operation Objective: understanding the basic operation of the transistor and its naming In order for the transistor to operate properly as an amplifier, the two pn junctions must be correctly biased with external voltages.
