AC Load Line

Operation of the linear


IC
amplifier can be illustrated
using an ac load line.
The ac load line is different Ic

than the dc load line because ICQ


Q

a capacitor looks open to dc


but effectively acts as a
short to ac. Thus the 0 VCE

collector resistor appears to Vce

be in parallel with the load VCEQ

resistor.

The five resistance parameters (r-parameters) can be


used for detailed analysis of a BJT circuit. For most
analysis work, the simplified r-parameters give good
results.

The Common-Emitter Amplifier

In the common-emitter (CE) amplifier, the input signal is


applied to the base and the inverted output is taken from the
collector. The emitter is common to ac signals.

The Common-Emitter Amplifier

The common-emitter amplifier exhibits high voltage and


current gain. The output signal is 180º out of phase
with the input.
Now let’s use our dc and ac analysis methods to view this type
of transistor circuit.

DC Analysis

The dc component of the circuit “sees” only the


part of the circuit that is within the boundaries of
C1, C2, and C3 as the dc will not pass through these
components.

Voltage-Divider Bias

base is not can determine it by the simplified equation
significant enough RIN(base) = DCRE
to consider (in We can view the voltage at point A of the circuit in
most cases), two ways, with or without the input resistance
(point A to ground) considered.

AC Equivalent Circuit

The ac equivalent circuit basically replaces the capacitors with


shorts, being that ac passes through easily through them. The
power supplies are also effectively shorts to ground for ac
analysis.

AC Equivalent Circuit : Signal Voltage at the Base

We can look at the input voltage in terms of the equivalent base circuit
(ignore the other components from the previous diagram). Note the use of
simple series-parallel analysis skills for determining Vin.
Rin(tot) = R1||R2||Rin(base)
Vb = (Rin(tot)/(Rs+Rin(tot))) Vs
Rs 가 충분히 작으면 Vb ~ Vs

AC Equivalent Circuit : Input Resistance at the Base

The input resistance as seen by the input voltage can


be illustrated by the r parameter equivalent circuit. The
simplified formula below is used.
Rin(base) = Vin/Iin = Vb/Ib
Vb = Ier’e (Ie ~ Ic)
Ib ~ Ie/ac
Rin(base) = Vb/Ib = Ier’e/(Ie/ ac)
= ac r’e

AC Equivalent Circuit

Voltage gain can be easily determined


by dividing the ac output voltage by the
ac input voltage.
Av = Vout/Vin = Vc/Vb
Voltage gain can also be determined by
the simplified formula below.
Av = RC/r’e

Attenuation

Taking the attenuation from


the ac supply internal
resistance and input
resistance into consideration is
included in the overall gain.

Overall gain : A’v = (Vb/Vs)Av


Attenuation = (Vb/Vs) = Rin(tot)/(Rs + Rin(tot))

Bypass Capacitor

The emitter bypass


capacitor helps increase
the gain by allowing
the ac signal to pass
more easily.
The XC(bypass) should be
about ten times less
than RE.

The same amplifier as in the last slide now is shown with common-mode

due to noise. Ideally, the outputs are zero with common-mode inputs.
