Exp 6

i. The aim of the experiment was to characterize a BJT transistor and analyze its load line. ii. The objectives were to draw input characteristics curves of VBE vs IB for different VCE values and output characteristics curves of VCE vs IC for different IB values. iii. The experiment involved setting up a circuit with a BJT transistor, resistor and power supply. Measurements of currents and voltages were taken for different resistor configurations to obtain the input and output characteristics curves.

THEORY:

The BJT is a three terminal device and it comes in two different types:-the npn BJT and the pnp BJT. The three terminals of the BJT are: the Base(B ),the Collector(C) and the Emitter(E).

Three different types of voltages are involved in the description of transistors and they are:(a)Transistor supply voltages: VCC , VBB (b)Transistor terminal voltages: VC , VB, VE (c)Voltage across transistor junctions: VBE, VCE, VCB

Transistor V-I Characteristics: For the common-emitter configuration the output characteristics are a plot of the output current(IC) versus output voltage(VCE) for a range of values of input current (IB).

The characteristics of each region of operation are:(a) CUTOFF REGION:(i) Base-emitter junction is reverse biased. (ii) No current flow. (b) SATURATION REGION:(i) Base-emitter junction is forward biased. (ii) Collector-base junction is forward biased. (iii)VCE < VBE (c) ACTIVE REGION:(i) Base-emitter junction is forward biase (ii) Collector-base junction is reverse biased (iii) VBE < VCE < VCC

The input characteristics are plot of of the input current(IB) versus the input voltage(VBE) for a range of values of output voltage(VCE).

In the input characteristics curve,when VBE becomes zero ,then IB will be zero, since under these conditions both emitter and collector junctions will be short-circuited.
