Collector-Emitter Loop
From Kirchhoff’s voltage law:
I E RE  VCE  IC RC  VCC  0

Since IE  IC:
VCE  VCC – I C(RC  RE )

VE  I E RE
VC  VCE  VE  VCC  I C RC

Ch.4 Summary

Improved Biased Stability

Stability refers to a condition in which the currents and


voltages remain fairly constant over a wide range of
temperatures and transistor Beta () values.

Adding RE to the emitter improves


the stability of a transistor.
