Hello! I am having trouble with this emitter circuit. I am given U0 as well as all of the resistor values and I need to calculate the following. ## I_c## ##U_{CE} ## ## U_{C} ## ## U_{a} ## ##U_{Ca}## ##U _{Re} ## Now important to note that all of these need to be calculated at the working...

The diagram of the BJT amplifier small signal model is below. This is not really a homework question as I am self-learning electronics, but I was advised it may be better placed here than in the technical portion of the forum. Thus I do not have an "attempt" at a solution (which is given as RI...

THIS IS NOT HOMEWORK I design audiophile power amps as hobby. I need to match power transistors. It is A LOT HARDER than I thought. I built a test fixture to hold up to 50 transistors at a time. I try to match sets of 13 to about 1mV which is very tight as Vbe change is about -2mV/deg C. I have...

This is a BJT common collector colpitts oscillator.I have found how to find the feedback fraction from this site:http://fourier.eng.hmc.edu/e84/lectures/ch4/node12.html but I have searched for hours and haven't found the amplifier gain of this circuit. I have found the amplifier gain for...

I can't find the formula for the current flowing from the base to the collector in saturation mode of BJT.Any help?There are many references to the emitter current in the forward active mode but none for the base-collector current in saturation mode.Help appreciated.

Assume we have a common collector circuit with a emitter resistance of 1k Ohms.Vc = 10V Ve is connected to ground. Now we connect the base of the transistor to 5V . The base current will be 5-VBE/1000 Amp.Let's say a voltage drop of 0.7 in the BE junction .We will get Ib = 4.3mA. Ic = bxIb =...

If I have an NPN transistor and let's say we set the base voltage higher than the collector voltage.(Emitter is connected to GND).There are 2 currents flowing in the base because we have two forward biased junctions inside the diode , 1 is the current flowing from emitter to base and 1 is the...

##V_{BE}## is basically the difference in voltage between the base terminal and the emitter terminal. Normally when silicon is used and the transistor is biased to operate in the active region, ##V_{BE}## = 0.7 V approximately. The way I understand this is that for an npn BJT, the applied...

I am trying to create a receiver for a personal project I am working on. This is the RF amplifier that I was given by a book I am following. How does this circuit work? Usually for a BJT amplifier I find the DC bias point and then use the small signal model after I bias the circuit? I understand...

I am given that all the BJTs are the same. First of all, when finding node voltages like Vref should I make the node voltage a voltage source first and then do circuit analysis? If so then I would use KVL but that does not give me Vref = 2Vbe. I do know that Vref = Vb1 = Vb2. What am I doing...

This cascade is divided into 3 sections thus: the leftmost section is an emitter follower : Ib1 = (15V-0.7V)/ ( R1 + 151R2) IE1= 151*Ib1 re1= 26mV /(IE1) Zb1= 150( re1+ R2) AV1= (-150*R1)/ (R1+Zb1) the center section is an unbiassed BJT : Ib2 = (15V-0.7V)/ ( R3 + 151(R4+Re2a) ) IE2=...

I am looking for small signal BJT that has very low leakage current when the base is biased at about 0.2V. I have issue of transistors drawing collector current when the base is at about 0.25V that is way less than the normal turn on of 0.6V to 0.7V. I am currently using BC546 or 556, and KSA992...
