Summary and Comparison of 3 Amplifiers




• CE configuration is best suited for high gain applications• Considering Re, CE stage provides performance improvements at the expense of

gain reduction• Low input impedance of CB amplifier makes it useful for specific applications.

Well suited as a high frequency amplifier• The emitter follower (CC), having a unity gain, finds application as a voltage

buffer for connecting a high resistance source to a low resistance load.Can be used as the last stage of a multistage amplifier.



Rin & Rout

may cause the input to drop significantly

High Rin and low Rout

is particularly useful as a buffer

Biasing BJT Amplifiers


Biasing BJT Amplifiers


2 bad solutions for biasing!

Fixing VBE Fixing IBSharp exponential relationship between iC and vBE

implies that any small difference in VBE from desired value will result in large deviations in IC and VCE

Variations in β will cause variations in IC

Classical Bias Arrangement


• Supplies fraction of supply voltage.• RE is connected to the emitter

To make IE insensitive to temperature and β variation:

Classical Bias Arrangement with 2 supply voltages


VEE replaces VBB

Same constraints apply

Biasing using a Collector-to-Base Feedback Resistor


Biasing using a constant-current source


• Emitter current becomes independent of β and RB

Implementation of the current source

Neglect base currents (high β )

Since Q1 and Q2 share the same VBE:

Collector current will remain constant as long as Q2 is active, neglecting the early effect

Discrete circuit BJT Amplifiers – CE


Combine CE&CB&CC Amplifiers + biasing arrangement

CE – bypass capacitor is to establish signal (ac) ground. Emitter signal current passes through this capacitor (bypasses the current source)

CC1: coupling capacitor:Lets ac signal in, blocks DC

CC2: coupling capacitor:Lets ac signal oout, blocks DC
