Between base-collector, reverse biased p-n junction Cμ = depletion cap. 1 Recitation 19 Common Emitter Amplifier 6.012 Spring 2009 Transistor Amplifiers Yesterday we started our discussion on transistor amplifiers. For amplifiers, we have: Type Input Output Voltage Amplifier V V Current Amplifier I I Transconductance Amplifier V I Transresistance Amplifier I V Voltage and transconductance amplifiers are most common. Yesterday, we discussed the common-source amplifier shown below: 2 Recitation 19 Common Emitter Amplifier 6.012 Spring 2009 Today, we will discuss common-emitter amplifier (for the BJT version) Resistor Bias At Collector Current Source At Collector For amplifier circuits, what we are interested in are: • What is the operating point? (Bias point) • Signal Swing? • Small signal gain; input resistance; output resistance • Frequency Response Among these, first two are large signal analysis, while the last two are related to small signal circuits. 3 Recitation 19 Common Emitter Amplifier 6.012 Spring 2009 DC Bias Point For large signal analysis, Vs & Rs will be gone. Also make RL ∞. See figure 4, Vout = Vcc − Ic · Rc Vcc If we choose Vout = =2.5V(Vcc =5V), Rc =10kΩ 2 Vcc − Vout 5V· 2.5V Ic = = = 250 μA Rc 10 kΩ qV /kT kT Ic Ic = Ise BIAS =V⇒ BIAS =ln=0.682 V qIs Signal Swing • Upswing limited by BJT going into cutoff: Total signal Vout,max = Vcc • Down swing limited by BJT going out of FAR into saturation Vout,min = VCE,SAT Small Signal Analysis of CE Amplifier First obtain the small signal circuit of the circuit in Figure 4 • Short DC voltage bias • Open DC circuit bias Intrinsic will be (without Rs and RL) This is a transconductance amplifier, it turns out its small signal circuit is very similar to the topography of our “two port model” 4 Recitation 19 Common Emitter Amplifier 6.012 Spring 2009 In comparison, we see Rin = γπ Ic Gm = gm = kT/q Rout = γo||Rc Intrinsic or unloaded gain (short circuit output) iout GmVin ==Gm Vin Vin And the loaded transconductance gain: iout Rout 1 = GmVin · Vs Rout + RL Vs Rin Rout Rin + Rs γo||Rc γπ = Gm · Vs = gm || Rout+RL Vs γo Rc + RL γπ + R Replacing Rc with a Current Source From the discussions in the above subsection, in general: ⇒ || ro Rc ==ro Rc Rc iout Rc rπ and = gm · vs Rc + RL rπ + Rs If Rc RL or Rc <RL, transconductance gain is degraded. 5 Recitation 19 Common Emitter Amplifier 6.012 Spring 2009 So we need a large Rout (output is a current) =⇒⇒→ use a current source at the collector = Figure 5 can be a p-MOSFET, Rc roc (in small signal circuit, DC current is open) On the CE Amp. We consider the CE Amp. to be a transconductance amplifier. In fact, it can also be just a voltage amplifier. In that case, the two port model becomes: 6 Recitation 19 Common Emitter Amplifier 6.012 Spring 2009 CS vs. CE Amp In comparison with the CS Amp we discussed yesterday: • 2ID VBIAS = w + VSS + VT μnCox L w 2 VDD (by letting VOUT =0,&IR = ID = μnCox(VBIAS − VSS − VT) = ) 2L RD • VOUT,MAX = VDD (MOS into cutoff) VOUT,MIN = VBIAS − VT (MOSFET leave saturation) • Rin = ∞,Rout = ro||RD Vout AVD = = −gm(ro||RD) Vin Vout = −gm(ro||RD||RL) Vs 7 MIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.edu 6.012 Microelectronic Devices and Circuits Spring 2009 For information about citing these materials or our Terms of Use, visit: http://ocw.mit.edu/terms. .
