CHAPTER 5

THE BIPOLAR JUNCTION TRANSISTOR

Contents are created from Microelectronics Circuit Analysis and Design by Donald A. Neamen
In this chapter, we will:
❖Discuss the physical structure and operation of the bipolar junction transistor.
❖Understand the dc analysis and design techniques of bipolar transistor circuits.
❖Examine three basic applications of bipolar transistor circuits.
❖Investigate various dc biasing schemes of bipolar transistor circuits, including integrated circuit
biasing.
❖Consider the dc biasing of multistage or multi-transistor circuits.
