1. PRELIMINARY:

P1. Given that RL=100, R2=1k and Vcc=12V for the circuit of Fig3.77.
a) Calculate the value of R1 so that the maximum output voltage swing can occur.
Also calculate the DC power consumed on each resistor.

ICQ=Vcc/2RL=12V/(2*100)=60mA

IBQ=ICQ/=60mA/120=0.5mA

IR2=VBE/R2=0.65V/1k=0.65mA

IR1=IR2+IB=0.65mA+0.5mA=1.15mA

Vcc-IR1R1-VBE=0 R1=(Vcc-VBE)/IR1=(12-0.65)/1.15mA=9.87k

b) Calculate Av=Vo/Vi

hie=26mV/IBQ
hie=26mV/0.5mA=52

Av=Vo/Vi=-hfeRL/hie=-120*100/52=-230.8

c) Calculate Ps,PLdc and the maximum value of PD if no input signal is present.

Ps=VccICQ=12V*60mA=0.72W

PLdc= ICQ2RL=60mA2*1k=0.36W

PD=Ps-PLdc=0.72-0.36=0.36W

d) Calculate the PL and PD when Vi=20sinwt mV. Hint: Use the result of P1b to find
Icm.

Av=Vo/Vi=-hfeRL/hie=-120*100/52=-230.8

Vo=Av*Vi=230.8*20*10-3=4.82Vpeak

PL= ICQ2RL/2 ICQ=Vpeak/RL

PL=Vo2/2RL=4.822/(2*100)=0.1087W

PD=Ps-PL-PLdc= 0.72-0.36-0.1087=0.2517W
P2. Given that Vcc=6V for the circuit given in Fig3.78.
a) Calculate the minimum value of RL such that the peak collector current is less than
55mA (take VCesat=0)

2
 Icmax=55mA VCEsat=0 RLmin=?

Icmax=(Vcc-VCesat)/(Rdc+Rac)=Vcc/10+RL <<55mA where Rdc=0

Vcc/10+RL<<55mA

6V/(10+RL)<<55mARL=100

b) Assuming that Vi=2sinwt V, draw the input and output voltage waveforms on the
same scale.

Vi=2sinwt V

Vo=Vi*(RL/(Rac+Rdc))=2sinwt(100/110)=1.82sinwtV

P3. Calculate the value of R to give a standby collector current of 12mA for the ciecuit given
in Fig 3.79. Also calculate VCEQ for each transistor.

2R1IR1-2VBE-2REIE=0

IE1=IE2=Ic(+1)/=12.1mA

VBE=VB-VE VB=0.65+0.121=0.771V

IR2=(Vcc-VB)/R2=237.7A

IB=Ic/=100A

IR=IR2+IB=137.7A

R=0.771V/137.7A=5.59k

VCEQ1=VCEQ2=Vcc-VE=6V-0.121V=5.879V

calculated in P1. If there is a big difference between the calculated and measured V CEQ
values, use the 10K pot to overcome this problem. (VCEQ=6V)
