6.1 Bipolar junction transistors (BJTs)

This lecture will spend some time on understanding


how the bipolar junction transistor (BJT) works based
on what we have known about PN junctions. One way
to look at a BJT transistor is two back-to-back diodes,
but it has very different characteristics.
Once we understand how the BJT device operates, we
will take a look at the different circuits (amplifiers)
which we can build.

Construction of Bipolar junction transistors

NPN BJT shown


3 terminals: emitter, base, and collector
2 junctions: emitter-base junction (EBJ) and collector-base
junction (CBJ)
These junctions have capacitance (high-frequency model)
BJTs are not symmetric devices
doping and physical dimensions are different for emitter
and collector

Electrons that diffuse across the base to the CBJ junction are
swept across the CBJ depletion region to the collector.

Saturation

Saturation occurs when the


supply voltage, VCC, is
across the total resistance
of the collector circuit, RC.
IC(sat) = VCC/RC
Vsat
Once the base current is high enough to produce saturation, further increases in
base current have no effect on the collector current and the relationship IC = IB is
no longer valid. When VCE reaches its saturation value, VCE(sat), the base-collector
junction becomes forward-biased.

When IB = 0, the transistor is in


cutoff and there is essentially no
collector current except for a
very tiny amount of collector
leakage current, ICEO, which can
usually be neglected. IC 0.

and the base-collector junctions

Biasing the Push-Pull Amplifier (Class-AB) (OCL)
To overcome crossover distortion, the biasing is adjusted to just overcome the

Single-Supply Push-Pull Amplifier (OTL)
The circuit operation is the same as that described previously, except the
bias is set to force the output emitter voltage to be VCC/2 instead of zero
volts used with two supplies. Because the output is not biased at zero
volts, capacitive coupling for the input and output is necessary to block
the bias voltage from the source and the load resistor.
