Summary of Chapter 6 BJT Amplifiers
6-1: Amplifier Operation
The coupling capacitors: block dc and thus prevent the internal source resistance, Rs, and the load resistance, RL, from changing the dc bias voltages at the base and collector. Operation: Vb vary sinusoidally on VBQ , Ib vary sinusoidally on IBQIC varies sinusoidally on ICQ (in-phase), Vce varies sinusoidally with VCE (out of phase) .
6-2 Transistor AC models A transistor model circuit uses various internal transistor parameters (resistance or r parameters and hybrid h parameters) to represent its operation.
r- parameters h- parameter s(datasheet)

6-3: The Common-Emitter Amplifier (CE)
1. The emitter is the common terminal (ground) for the ac signal. 2. High voltage gain 3. High current gain
Notes: C1, C3 are coupling capacitors and C2 is bypass capacitor. There is no signal at the emitter because C2 shorts the emitter to ground at the signal frequency.

Effect of the emitter Bypass capacitor on the voltage gain (Stability of Gain ) The value of bypass capacitor must be large enough so that (10 Xc <= RE).
Notice that r'e is dependent of temperature and thus if RE >> r'e Gain is stable

(c) The total collector voltage is the signal voltage of 84.5 mV rms riding on a dc level of 5.02 V: Max Vc( p) = VC + 1.414 Vc =5.02 V + (84.5 mV)(1.414) = 5.13 V
Min Vc (p) = VC - 1.414 Vc =5.02 V - (84.5 mV) (1.414) = 4.9 V

No phase inversion
Main advantages: (1) high input resistance (2) high current gain
Darlington Pair: Used to boost the input resistance which is limited by βac. The collectors of two transistors are connected, and the emitter of the first drives the base of the second. This configuration achieves βac multiplication.
An Application The emitter-follower is often used as an interface between a circuit with a high output resistance and a low-resistance load. In such an application, the emitter-follower is called a buffer.

Application Example: An emitter-follower using a Darlington pair can be used to interface the amplifier and The speaker as shown:
