    This document discusses transistor biasing methods. It covers fixed bias circuits, including: 1) The circuit diagram of a fixed bias circuit with a resistor RB connected between the base and positive supply voltage VCC. 2) In a fixed bias circuit, the base current IB is fixed by the supply voltage VCC and resistor RB. The collector current IC is then determined by the beta of the transistor. 3) Fixed bias circuits have poor stability due to variations in beta and Ico with temperature, which can cause thermal runaway. The stability factor S of a fixed bias circuit is 1+β.

    RECAP

    In our previous sessions we have discussed the need of

    transistor biasing, need of stabilization and different

    stability factors

    EC302.24 2
    Objectives

    On completion of this period you would be be able to


    understand

    • The different biasing methods used.

    • The circuit of fixed bias.

    EC302.24 3
    Requirements of Biasing circuit

    A Biasing network associated with a transistor should

    • Establish the operating point in the middle of active


    region.

    • Stabilize the collector current Ic against temperature


    variations.

    • Make the operating point independent of parametric


    varation

    EC302.24 4
    Types of Biasing methods

    • Fixed bias

    • Collector – Base bias

    • Self bias or Potential divider bias or


    universal

    FIXED BIAS CIRCUIT
    Fig .1

    EC302.24 6
    Circuit Analysis

    • Since VBE is small (0.3 v for Ge and 0.7 for Si) in

    comparison with VCC.

    • IB= (VCC – VBE) / RB ≅ VCC / RB

    • Since the supply voltage VCC and resistance RB are fixed

    once designed ,IB is also fixed.

    • Hence the name Fixed Bias.

    • IC = βIB
    EC302.24 7
    • Fixed bias circuit is simplest way to bias a transistor.

    • But stability is very poor.

    • Ico AND β changes with rise in temperature.

    • Since Ic= β IB+ (1+β) Ico also increases.

    • Hence operating point gets shifted.

    EC302.24 8
    Stability factor ‘S’ of fixed bias circuit

    • Expression for S = (1+β) / (1- β dIB / dIC)

    In fixed bias circuit IB is independent of IC

    Hence S = (1+ β)

    EC302.24 9
    Example :- If β of a transistor is 150;

    Then S = (1 +β) = 151

    • This means collector current increases 151 times


    as much as ICO.

    EC302.24 10
    Advantages of fixed bias

    • Biasing circuit is very simple.

    • Very few components are required.

    • Biasing conditions can be set easily.

    • Calculations are simple.

    • No loading of the source by the biasing circuit.

    EC302.24 11
    Disadvantages of fixed bias

    • This method provides poor stability.

    • No means to stop self increase of collector current IC.

    • There are good chances of thermal runaway due to high


    stability factor.
