Chapter 6. Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs)
Bipolar Junction Transistor • Three terminal device
• Voltage between two terminals to control current flow in third terminal
• Invented in 1948 at Bell Telephone Laboratories
• Dominant until late 1980’s
• Reliable under harsh operating conditions– High frequency applications
– High speed designs
– High power applications
npn transistor•n-type emitter (E) region, p-type base (B) region, n-type collector (C) region •Two pn junctions (naming basis for bipolar junction transistor)•Modes
- Active: used for amplifier design- Cutoff - Saturation: used for logic design- Reverse active: limited operation
pnp transistor – dual of npn transistor
Active Mode of npn Transistor

Circuit Models for Active Mode npn Transistor
Practical Implementation
E and C are not symmetrical.
pnp transistors works dual to npn transistors much inthe same way PMOSFET works dual to NMOSFET.(In this class, we will concentrate on npn transistors.)

Example: Given 100. When 1 mA, 0.7 .
Design to achieve 2 mA when 5 V.
Since 5 V 5 V (reverse biased)

Biasing BJT• Determining a quiescent point for linearization
• Active mode operation
• Considerations– Stable with respect to manufacturing parameters
(e.g., ro, β)
– Desired gains– Acceptable output swing
Biasing with Single Power Supply
• Fix VBE or IB.
• Output directly depends on β• Unstable with respect to temperature variation
