Small‐Signal Analysis

PNP BJT Small‐Signal Model• The small‐signal model for a PNP transistor is identical to that of an NPN transistor.– Note that the polarity of the small‐signal currents andNote that the polarity of the small signal currents and voltages are defined to be in the opposite direction with respect to the large‐signal model.   This is OK, because the small‐signal model is used only to determine changes in currents  and voltages.

Voltage  Amplifier• In an ideal voltage amplifier, 

the input impedance is infinite and the output impedance is zero.

• In reality, the input and output impedances depart from their ideal values.

Input/Output Impedances

Input Impedance Example

• Note that input/output impedances are usually regarded as small‐signal quantities.

The input impedance is obtained by applying a small– The input impedance is obtained by applying a small change in the input voltage and finding the resultant change in the input current:

Impedance at a Node

• When calculating I/O impedances at a port, we usually ground one terminal.  We often refer to the “impedance seen at a node” rather than the“impedance seen at a node” rather than the impedance between two nodes (i.e. at a port).

Summary of BJT Impedances

1. Looking into the base, the impedance is r if the emitter is (ac) grounded.

2 Looking into the collector the impedance is r if2. Looking into the collector, the impedance is ro if emitter is (ac) grounded.

3. Looking into the emitter, the impedance is 1/gm if base is (ac) grounded and Early effect is neglected.

DC Analysis vs. Small‐Signal Analysis

• Firstly, DC analysis is performed to determine the operating point and to obtain the small‐signal model parametersparameters.

• Secondly, independent sources are set to zero and the small‐signal model is used.

Simplified Notation

• Hereafter, the voltage source that supplies power to the circuit is replaced by a horizontal bar labeled VCC, and input signal is simplified as one node labeled vand input signal is simplified as one node labeled vin.

Biasing with Base Resistor

• Assuming a constant value for VBE, one can solve for both IB and IC and determine the terminal voltages of the transistorthe transistor.

• However, the bias point is sensitive to  variations.

Biasing with Base Resistor

Using KVL in the base‐emitter loop,

V I R V 0VCC – IBRB –VBE = 0or, IB = (VCC‐VBE)/RB

IC = βIB= β(VCC‐VBE)/RB

Using KVL in the collector‐emitterloop,loop,

VCC – ICRC –VCE = 0or, VCE = VCC ‐ ICRC

Q(VCE,IC) is set

Improved Biasing:  Resistive Divider

• Using a resistive divider to set VBE, it is possible to produce an IC that is relatively insensitive to variations in if the base current is smallvariations in , if the base current is small.

Accounting for Base Current

• With a proper ratio of R1 to R2, IC can be relatively insensitive to .  However, its exponential dependence on R1 // R2 makes it less useful.on R1 // R2 makes it less useful.

Bias Circuit Design Procedure

1. Choose a value of IC to provide the desired small‐signal model parameters: gm, r, etc.

2. Considering the variations in R1, R2, and VBE, choose a value for VRE.

3. With VRE chosen, and VBE calculated, Vx can be d t i ddetermined.

4. Select R1 and R2 to provide Vx.

Self‐Biasing Technique

• This bias technique utilizes the collector voltage to provide the necessary Vx and IB.

• One important characteristic of this approach is that• One important characteristic of this approach is that the collector has a higher potential than the base, thus guaranteeing active‐mode operation of the BJT.
