1. Show that h-parameter of common-collector configuration can be obtained from the h-

parameter of common-emitter configuration.

Figure 1: Hybrid Model For CE Configuration

The CE h-parameter circuit is show in fig., where capital letters are used to represent the rms value of the
sinusoidal voltage or current.

Expression for hrc By definition,

 
Vbc  Vbe + Vec 
hrc = =
Vec Ib =0 Vec Ib =0
 
Vbe 
hrc = 1 + (1)
Vec Ib =0
If Ib = 0 then Ic = −Ie . The potential difference between point B and E when Ib = 0 given by

Vbe = hre Vce (2)

From Eq. 1 and Eq. 2, We have  

hre Vce 
hrc = 1+
Vec 
Ib =0

hrc = 1 − hre (3)

Expression for hf c By definition,


Ie 
hf c = (4)
Ib Vec =0

If Vce = 0 or Vec = 0 then current I through hoe will be zero. Thus

Ic = hf e Ib
We know that the expression
Ie + Ic + Ib = 0 (5)
is valid for all configuration. 
Ib + Ic 
hf c = −
Ib Vec =0
 
Ic 
hf c = − 1 +
Ib Vec =0

hf c = −(1 + hf e ) (6)

Expression for hic By definition


Vbc 
hic = (7)
Ib Vec =0
which can be written as  
Vbe + Vec  Vbe 
hic = =
Ib 
Vec =0 Ib Vec =0
If Vc e = 0 then the potential difference between points B and point E given by
Vbe = Ib hie (8)
Using Eq.8 in expression for hic ,we have
hic = hie (9)

Expression for hoc By definition


Vec 
hoc = (10)
Ie Ib =0
Using Eq.5, We have  
Vec  Vec 
hoc =− =−
Ib + Ic Ib =0 Ic Ib =0

From fig If Ib = 0 then the current through hoe will be I = −Ic . Thus
Vce = hoe Ic (11)

Putting this into expression of hoc

hoc = hoe (12)

Putting everything together we have Conversion formulae from CB to CE h-parameter.

hic = hie hrc = 1 − hre

hf c = −(1 + hf e ) hoc = hoe
