Load Line Analysis and Biasing of BJT

Deptt. Of Electrical & Instrumentation Engineering


Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology Patiala, India
Load Line
• Defined as locus of operating points on the output
characteristics of transistor.
• Line on which the operating point(Q pt) moves during the
passage of ac signal.
• The Q pt is a point on load line which represent dc
collector emitter voltage and collector current in the
absence of ac signal.

• Whenever ac signal is applied for amplification, variations


in collector emitter voltage and collector current take place

Transistor Biasing
• The proper flow of zero signal collector current and
maintenance of proper CE voltage during the passage of
signal is known as transistor biasing.
• If the transistor is not biased properly, it would produce
unfaithful amplification in the output signal.
• Conditions that must be satisfied to achieve Faithful
amplification :
--- Proper zero signal collector current
This current must be greater than
equal to maximum collector current
due to signal alone.
Transistor Biasing
---- Minimum proper BE voltage at any instant
BE voltage should not fall below 0.5V for Ge and 0.7V for Si

---- Minimum proper CE voltage at any instant


CE voltage should not fall below 0.5V for Ge and 1V for Si
Need for Bias Stabilization
• Temperature dependence of collector current and
individual parameters of Transistor.
• Parameters changes from unit to unit.
If Q pt is not stabilized, then there can be phenomenon
called Thermal Runway.(The self destruction of
unstabilised transistor )
Requirements of a Biasing Circuit
• Establish the Q pt in middle of active region of the
transistor characteristics.
• Stabilize Collector Current against temperature variations.
• Make Q pt independent of transistor parameters.
