Transistor Biasing

Fixed-bias circuit

Chapter Outline

The concepts introduced in this chapter are:

  • Load line and operating point
  • Various biasing circuits
  • Stability factors
  • Stabilisation and compensation circuits
  • Thermal runaway and condition to avoid it
6.1 INTRODUCTION

In order to use a transistor in a circuit, the transistor needs to be given appropriate dc voltages and currents after selection of the region of operation. This is called the biasing of a transistor. The transistor has to be biased properly by providing required voltages at its two junctions. The problem with the transistor biasing is that the transistor operating ...
