Question:
For the BJT amplifier circuit given in Figure 1, it has VEE = VCC = 15 V, RI = 550 , R1 = R2 = 200 k,
RL = 100 k, RC = 10 k RE1 = 50 kand RE2 = 150 k. Assume the transistor is with VBE = 0.7 V,
VA = 60V, and = 100, and the capacitors have infinite value. In your answers to the following parts,
please express all fractional voltage and current values in mV and mA respectively up to two decimal places
in your calculation. Resistance values that are larger than 1000 should be expressed in k.
1
(a) Draw the DC equivalent circuit.
(b) Calculate the Q-point of the transistor Q in Figure 1.
(c) Determine if the transistor Q is operating in the forward active region.
(d) Calculate the DC power dissipation of each component of the circuit.
(e) Verify that the total DC power dissipated by the circuit computed in (d) is equal to the total power
delivered by VEE and VSS.
(f) Draw small signal equivalent circuit of the amplifier.
(g) Calculate the resistances , of the amplifier.
(h) If vi = 0.2sinωt mA, what will be the output voltage vo?
(i) Calculate the current gain .
(j) What is the maximum amplitude of the input signal vi for this small signal analysis to be valid? Will the
output waveform of (h) be distorted?
(k) What will be the value of RI to maximize the voltage gain of this amplifier?
(l) Without changing the transistor, suggest two effective ways to increase the voltage gain of this amplifier
circuit. Please indicate the direction of change (increase or decrease) if your suggestions involve changes in
component values.
