EXPERIMENT 7: BJT AMPLIFIER

Objectives
The objective of this experiment is to obtain and learn the gain characteristic of BJT amplifier
circuits practically.

Components Required:

DC Voltage Source
AC Voltage Source
Oscilloscope
Multimeter
Transistör: BC237
Resistors: 220kΩ, 1kΩ, 10kΩ, 33kΩ, 1.2kΩ, 20kΩ
Capacitor: 4.7μF (x2), 220 μF
Preliminary Work:

1. Set up the circuit given in Figure 1 in ORCAD. Use BC237 transistor model.
a. Analyze the circuit given in Figure 1 and find IB, IC, and VCE. (βDC = 300)
b. Simulate the same circuit in OrCAD. Label base, emitter, and collector terminals of
the transistor as B, E, and C, respectively. Perform DC simulation and provide the
screenshot of the results. (Use ‘Bias Point’ analysis)
c. Do your simulation results justify the answers in part (a)? (IB, IC, and VCE)
d. Determine in which region the transistor operates.

2. Set up the circuit given in Figure 1 in OrCAD. Use the BC237 transistor model.

a. Find frequency response of the BC237 Transistor in ORCAD. Use AC Voltage Source
for the input signal. Run AC simulation from 5 Hz to 10 MHz (10 MEG). Plot the AC
voltage gain (Vo / Vs). Label the midband frequency gain (in dB) and low and high
corner frequencies (the 3-dB frequencies) in the plot before importing it to your
homework. What is the midband voltage gain as a ratio (not in dB)?

b. Change the input signal with a sinusoidal voltage source that has 220mV Vpp at 1kHz.
Run transient simulation. Plot the input and output signals. What is the gain based on
the transient simulation? Does it agree with the AC gain in part (a)?

3. Set up the circuits given in Figure 1 in TincerCAD and add the results to the report.
Experimental :
1. Setup the circuit given in Figure 1 using the BC237 transistor.
● Set the supply voltage to 20V.
● Apply a sine wave to the input at a frequency of 1 kHz and Vpp value is 240
mV. Connect the first channel of the oscilloscope to the signal generator (Vs)
and the second channel to the output (Vo) of the circuit.
● Measure the DC node voltages of collector, base, and emitter and write down
the measured voltage values (Ic, VC VB & VE) to Table 1.
● Calculate the value of Vo/Vs.

2. Find the cut-off (corner) frequency points of the BC237 transistor by changing the
frequency values of the input signal according to Table 2. Fill in Table 2 according to
the values you obtained.
