Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Voltage divider bias Base circuit contains a voltage divider Most widely used Known as VDB

Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. The six-step process 1. Calculate the base voltage using the voltage divider equation. 2. Subtract 0.7 V to get the emitter voltage. 3. Divide by emitter resistance to get the emitter current. 4. Determine the drop across the collector resistor.

Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. The six-step process (Continued) 5. Calculate the collector voltage by subtracting the voltage across the collector resistor from V CC. 6. Calculate the collector-emitter voltage by subtracting the emitter voltage from the collector voltage.

Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. VDB analysis The base current must be much smaller than current through the divider With the base voltage constant, the circuit produces a stable Q point under varying operational conditions

Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. +V CC RCRC RERE R1R1 R2R2 Is the divider a stiff source? { Find the Thevenin resistance. R TH = R 1 R 2
12
Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. +V CC RCRC RERE V BB R TH A Thevenin model of the bias circuit:
13
Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. +V CC RCRC RERE The 100:1 rule applied to the bias circuit: R IN V BB R TH R TH < 0.01 R IN When this rule is met, the divider is stiff.
14
Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Firm voltage divider Used because divider resistors (e.g. R 1 and R 2 ) in a stiff design would be too small The collector current will be about 10% lower than the stiff value
15
Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. +V CC RCRC RERE R1R1 R2R2 Sometimes a firm divider is chosen. R 1 R 2 < 0.1 dc R E A closer approximation: I E = V BB - V BE R E + dc R 1 R 2

Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Two-supply stiff emitter bias: 10 V 3.6 k 2.7 k 1 k 2 V Assume 0 V I E = V EE - 0.7 V RERE I E = 2 V - 0.7 V 1 k = 1.3 mA
18
Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. 10 V 3.6 k 2.7 k 1 k 2 V V C = 10 V - (1.3 mA)(3.6 k ) = 5.32 V V CE = 5.32 V - (-0.7 V) = 6.02 V Find the voltages:

Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. +V CC RCRC RERE RBRB Emitter-feedback bias: Better than base bias Q point still moves Not popular
21
Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. +V CC RCRC RBRB Collector-feedback bias: Better than emitter-feedback bias Q point still moves Some applications because of circuit simplicity
