BJT Transistor Modeling

BJT AC model is an equivalent circuit that represents the AC characteristics of the BJT transistor

The model uses circuit elements that approximate the behavior of the transistor

There are two models commonly used in small signal AC analysis of a transistor: re model

Hybrid π equivalent model

The re Transistor Model

BJTs are basically current-controlled devices; therefore the re model uses a diode and a current source to duplicate the behavior of the transistor Recall: the ac resistance of a diode can be

determined by the equation rac = 26 mV/ID, where ID

is the dc current through the diode at the Q (quiescent) point

One disadvantage of this model is its sensitivity to the DC level. This model is designed for specific circuit conditions

figure, with IE = 4 mA, α = 0.98, and an ac signal of 2 mV applied between the base and emitter terminals: (a) Determine the input impedance.

(b) Calculate the voltage gain if a load of 0.56 kΩ is connected to the output terminals.

The Hybrid π Equivalent Model The hybrid π model is most useful for analysis of high-frequency

transistor applications

At lower frequencies the hybrid π model closely approximate the re parameters, and can be replaced by them

The following hybrid parameters are developed and used for modeling the transistor. These parameters can be found on the specification sheet for a transistor

BJT 1-22

• hi = input resistance

• hr = reverse transfer voltage ratio (Vi/Vo) 0

• hf = forward transfer current ratio (Io/Ii)

• ho = output conductance

The Hybrid π Equivalent Model

BJT 1-23

- Short-circuit input impedance parameter

- Open-circuit reverse transfer voltage ratio parameter

- Short-circuit forward transfer current ratio parameter - Open-circuit output admittance parameter

Simplified General h-Parameter Model

BJT 1-24

• hi = input resistance

• hf = forward transfer current ratio (Io/Ii)

- hr and ho has slight impact on values of Zi, Zo,Av and Ai

- hr very small (≈ 0) and ho very large (∞)
