COMMON OUTPUT CHARACTERISTIC CURVE

I. Objective:

To determine the characteristic of common base configuration.

II. Discussion

The base to mass therefore in a pnp is had for having J and polarizes to you directly

must have Va positive βE while for having polarized Jc inversely I must have Va CB negative.

Dalla deduces that in the escape characteristic, the escape is the c while VCB and Iand are the

income in largeness’s, it is preferred of the two to take and like parameter in how much the c@

And and they are obtained of the straight horizontals in the active region that extend in the

quadrant characterized fromand > 0 and V0CB < the region of saturation in which increases of

current with V are had bruschithe almost constant CB are obtained forand > 0 0and VCB> that is

directly polarized JC while the interdiction region is had forand< 0 and the splices are obtained

inversely polarizing both .

As far as the income characteristic, it is the same one of the directly polarized diode valve
unless to growing of VtheCB for Early effect it increasesand and therefore the curves are gotten
thicker.

Characteristic Curves:
VI. Conclusion:
I therefore conclude that, I have learned to characterize common basic configurations of
power curves. As can be seen in the circuit below, voltage and current are proportional
to each other and both voltage and current increase. Using this method, the
characteristic curve can be easily determined graphically. It also shows that the emitter
is the input terminal, the collector is the output terminal, and the base terminal is
connected as the input/output common terminal.

VII. Observation:
In this experiment, the circuit contains two voltage sources, one NPN transistor, three
resistors including potentiometers, and two switches. This is known as common base
output. It represents experimental data showing that as the emitter current increases
and the collector-base voltage increases, the collector current also increases or remains
constant by varying VCB and R1. It also shows the voltage versus current to show the
importance of the characteristic.

VIII. Questions

1.
The common base configuration has a LOW input impedance, but it can have a

HIGH voltage gain.

2.
The current in gain of common base configuration is just LESS THAN 1 , and the

output impedance is simply LOW .

3.
The EMITTER and COLLECTOR are in phase for the common-base configuration.
