BJT DC Biasing Techniques and Problems

This document discusses different methods of DC biasing for BJT transistors. It introduces biasing and explains that it provides a fixed operating voltage and current to determine the transistor's operating point. It then describes several biasing configurations: fixed bias uses a supply, base, and collector resistor and is simple but unstable; emitter bias adds an emitter resistor and is more stable; and collector feedback bias and voltage divider bias provide further improvements to stability. Sample problems demonstrate analyzing circuits and calculating operating points for these different biasing techniques.

BJT DC Biasing

Topic Outline

• Introduction
• Fixed Bias
• Emitter Bias
• Voltage Divider Bias
• Collector Feedback Bias
Introduction

• What is Biasing?
• Biasing is the application of passive components and external voltage supply
to provide proper operating condition.
Introduction

• Importance of DC Biasing
• DC biasing provides a fix level of operating voltage and current.
• This fix level of voltage and current determined the operating point of the
transistor.
• Recall the three regions of operation of BJT.
Introduction

• The operating point is what we called the “Q point” or Quiescent


point.
• What will happen if the Q point is not set properly?
Introduction

• Where must be the Q point place in order to operate as an amplifier?
