GATE CAPACITANCE
• In real transistor
p type substrate
is connected to the source
• That means creating pn
junction between S and D
terminals, which is forward
biased for negative VDS values
• This is called body diode
• High junction capacitance
results in long recovery
FET GATE SWITCHING
• Example application
• Maintain constant current in LED,
when input voltage is varying
CURRENT MIRROR
• Off-state
• Base is open or grounded
• Transistor in cutoff mode
• On-state
• Base supplied with current
• Transistor in saturation mode
• Rc is a „load”
• In off-state no current flow
• In on-state supply voltage across load

SIMPLE VOLTAGE AMPLIFIER
• Voltage amplification can be realized using constant supply
voltage V
and variable voltage divider R1/R2
• By controlling R2 ouput voltage Vo is varied
• Instead of R2 transistor is used
• Current flow in R1 changes according to control signal Vi
• Output variations are higher, than input - gain!
AMPLIFIER CONFIGURATIONS
• Output voltage VCE varies from ~0V (at saturation) to VCC (at
cutoff)
IDEALIZED TRANSFER CURVE
• Output is inversed
with respect to the input!
AC SIGNAL AMPLIFICATION
• The region along the load line including all points between
saturation and cutoff is generally known as the linear region
(BJT operates in active region)
• In linear this region, the output voltage is a linear reproduction of
the input
• Biasing circuits set initial voltage at the base VBE around 0,7V
•
SIMPLE AMPLIFIER
• The circuit shows a simple amplifier
• RB is used to bias the transistor by injecting an
appropriate base current
• C is a coupling capacitor and is used to couple the
AC signal while preventing
external circuits from
affecting the bias
• This is an
AC-coupled amplifier
Q-point is not
stable in this
circuit!

• Single npn BJT can form a class A amplifier (DC Bias sets the Q-
point of the amplifier half way along the load line)
• CE is an inverting amplifier
• Incorrect positioning of the Q-point or too large imput
amplitude will produce either Saturation Clipping or Cut-off
