Transistor Biasing and Stabilization

Thermal Resistance – Definition, Circuit Diagram and Equation

Thermal Resistance – Definition, Circuit Diagram and Equation: With power transistors, a designer often uses a heat sink to get a high power rating for the transistor. As already mentioned, the heat sink allows the internally generated heat to escape more easily from the transistor. This reduces the junction temperature, equivalent to increase the maximum …

Various Bias Compensation Methods

Various Bias Compensation Methods: During the discussion made for various biasing methods for providing stability to the operating point we have seen that self bias (or potential divider bias) and collector-to-base bias circuits provide better operating point stability but in both arrangements the stabilization is provided due to negative feedback action of the circuit. Although …

Base Bias Circuit With Collector and Emitter Feedback

Base Bias Circuit With Collector and Emitter Feedback: In this Base Bias Circuit With Collector and Emitter Feedback circuit, as obvious from its name, both collector and emitter feedbacks are used in an attempt to reduce circuit sensitivity to changes in β. Increase in β causes increase in emitter voltage but decreases collector voltage. As …
