TUTORIAL 2 1.

If the silicon transistor used in the circuit shown has a minimum value of = hFE of 30 and if ICBO = 10 nA at 25C: (a) Find Vo for Vi = 12 V and show that Q is in saturation. (b) Find the minimum value of R1 for which the transistor in part a is in the active region. (c) If R1 = 15 K and Vi = 1 V, find Vo and show that Q is a t cutoff. (d) Find the maximum temperature at which the transistor in part c remains at cutoff.

2. For the circuit shown, assume = hFE= 1 00. (a) Find if the silicon transistor is in cutoff, saturation, or in the active region. (b) Find Vo (c) Find the minimum value for the emitter resistor Re for which the transistor operates in the active region.
