BJT DC Biasing

Topic Outline

• Introduction
• Fixed Bias
• Emitter Bias
• Voltage Divider Bias
• Collector Feedback Bias
Introduction

• What is Biasing?
• Biasing is the application of passive components and external voltage supply
to provide proper operating condition.
Introduction

• Importance of DC Biasing
• DC biasing provides a fix level of operating voltage and current.
• This fix level of voltage and current determined the operating point of the
transistor.
• Recall the three regions of operation of BJT.
Introduction

• The operating point is what we called the “Q point” or Quiescent

point.
• What will happen if the Q point is not set properly?
Introduction

• Where must be the Q point place in order to operate as an amplifier?

BJT Bias Configuration

• Characteristics of a DC bias configuration

• It must set the desired Q point
• It must be Stable.
• Types of Bias configuration
• Fixed Bias
• Emitter Bias
• Collector Feedback Bias
• Voltage Divider Bias
Fixed Bias

• It contain a supply Vcc, Base, • Schematic diagram:

and collector resistor.
• Simplest type f DC biasing.
• Poor stability

Determining the load line

At Cut off At Saturation

• Current is minimum • Current is maximum
• Voltage is maximum • Voltage is minimum.
DC Load Line
Emitter Bias

• It has Vcc, base,emitter and • Schematic Diagram

collector resistor.
• More stable that fix bias
