    Chapter Goals

    Detailed study of three broad classes of amplifiers

    Inverting amplifiers- that provide high voltage gain with a 1800

    phase shift, common-emitter and common-source configurations,

    Followers- that provide nearly unity gain similar to op amp voltage

    follower, common-collector and common-drain configurations, Noninverting amplifiers- that provide high voltage gain with no

    phase shift, common-base and common-gate configurations.

    Detailed design of voltage gain, input voltage range, current gain, input

    and output resistances, coupling and bypass capacitor design and lower

    cutoff frequency for each type of amplifier. Understand differences between SPICE ac (small-signal), transient

    (large-signal) and transfer function analysis modes.

    Signal Injection and Extraction: BJT

    In forward-active region,

    To cause change in current, vBE= vB - vEmust be changed.Base or emitter terminals are used to inject signal because

    even if Early voltage is considered, collector voltage has

    negligible effect on terminal currents.

    Substantial changes in collector or emitter currents cancreate large voltage drops across collector and emitter

    resistors and collector or emitter can be used to extract

    output. Since iB is a factor ofbFsmaller than iCoriE

    currents, base terminal is not used to extract output.

    Signal Injection and Extraction: FET

    In pinch-off region,

    To cause change in current, vGS= vG - vSmust be changed.Gate or source terminals are used to inject signal because

    even with channel-length modulation, drain voltage has

    negligible effect on terminal currents.

    Substantial changes in drain or source currents can createlarge voltage drops across drain and source resistors and

    drain or source can be used to extract output. Since iG is

    always zero, gate terminal is not used to extract output.

    Amplifier Families

    Constraints for signal injection and extraction yield three families of

    amplifiers

    Common-Emitter (C-E)/Common- Source (C-S)

    Common-Base (C-B)/Common- Gate (C-G) Common-Collector (C-C)/Common- Drain (C-D)

    All circuit examples here use the four-resistor bias circuits to establish

    Q-point of the various amplifiers

    Coupling and bypass capacitors are used to change the ac equivalent

    circuits.

    Inverting Amplifiers: Summary

    C-E and C-S amplifiers have similar voltage gains.

    C-S amplifier provides extremely high input resistance but that of C-E is also

    substantial due to the fREterm.

    Output resistance of C-E amplifier is much higher than that of C-S amplifier as

    f is much larger for BJT than for FET.

    Input signal range of C-E amplifier is also higher than that of C-S amplifier.

    Current gains of both are identical to those of individual transistors.

    Following transformation is used to simplify circuit analysis by absorbingRE

    (orRS) into the transistor (For FET, current gain and input resistance are

    infinite).

    portion of input signal appears across base-emitter or gate-source terminals,

    Follower Circuits: Summary

    Both C-C and C-D amplifiers have voltage gains approaching unity.

    C-D amplifier provides extremely high input resistance because of

    infinite resistance looking into gate terminal of FET as compared to C-

    C amplifier.

    Output resistance of C-C amplifier is much lower than the C-D

    amplifier due to higher transconductance of BJT than an FET for given

    operating current.

    Both C-C and C-D amplifiers can handle relatively large input signal

    levels..

    Current gains of FET is inherently infinite, whereas that of BJT is

    limited by its finite value ofbo.

    Noninverting Amplifiers: Summary

    C-B and C-G amplifiers have similar voltage and current gains.

    Numerical differences occur due to difference in parameter values of

    BJT and FET at similar operating points.

    C-B amplifier can achieve high output resistance due to higher

    amplification factor of BJT.

    C-B amplifier can more easily reach low levels of output resistance due

    to higher transconductance of BJT for a given operating current.

    Input signal range of C-G amplifier is inherently larger than that of C-B

    amplifier.

    Selecting Amplifier Configuration

    A single-transistor amplifier with a gain of 80 dB and input resistance of 100

    k.

    Av = 1080/20 = 10,000. For even best BJTs, gain< f= 40VA = 40(150) =

    6000 and FET typically has much lower intrinsic gain. Hence such large

    gain cant be achieved by single-transistor amplifier. A single-transistor amplifier with gain of 52 dB, input resistance of 250 k.

    Av = 1052/20 = 400. Since we need large gain and relatively large input

    resistance, we can use C-E amplifier.Av = 20VCC, so, VCC=20 V.

    which is small but acceptable.

    For FET, even with small gate overdrive, VDD =100 V which is too large

    A single-transistor amplifier with gain of 30dB and input resistance of 5M.

    Av = 1030/20 = 31.6. Since we need large input resistance and moderate

    gain, we can use C-S amplifier.

    Input resistance of can be set by our choice of gate-bias resistors. For C-

    E amplifier, required high input resistance could be attained but values of

    base bias resistor could be a limiting factor.

    A single-transistor amplifier with gain of 0dB and input resistance of 20M

    with load resistor of 10k. Gain of 0 dB implies a source follower,Rin=boRL=100(10k)=1M, so

    BJT cant meet input resistance requirement, A source follower can be

    used easily.

    Coupling and Bypass Capacitor Design

    Since impedance of a capacitor increases with decreasing frequency,

    coupling and bypass capacitors reduce amplifier gain at low

    frequencies.

    To choose capacitor values, short-circuit time constant method is used:each capacitor is considered separately with all other capacitors

    replaced by short circuits.

    To neglect a capacitor, the magnitude of capacitive impedance must be

    much smaller than the equivalent resistance appearing at its terminals.

    Lower Cutoff Frequency of an Amplifier

    We can choose capacitor values to set the lower cutoff frequency of the

    amplifier at desired value.

    Pole associated with a capacitor occurs at the frequency at which

    capacitive reactance is equal to resistance at the capacitor terminals.

    In discussed amplifiers, there are several poles and a bandwidth

    shrinkage occurs at low frequencies.

    A transfer function with n identical poles at wo is given by

    Lower cutoff frequency is higher than frequency corresponding to

    individual poles.

    Dominant Pole Design

    Instead of having the lower cutoff frequency set by the interaction of

    several poles, it can be set by the pole associated with just one of the

    capacitors. The other capacitors can be chosen to have their pole

    frequencies much belowfL.

    Capacitor associated with emitter or source part of the circuit tends to

    be the largest due to low resistance presented by emitter or source

    terminal of transistor and is commonly used to setfL.

    Values of other capacitors are increased by a factor of 10 to push their

    corresponding poles to much lower frequencies.

    ID of 0.2 mA inRD = 100 k needs avoltage drop equal to total power

    supply of 20 V. So power supply

    voltage must be increased.

    For pinch-off region operation,

    Choose VDD = 25 V

    Results of Body Effect

    Gain of C-G amplifier more closely approaches theRL/Rth limit.

    Gain of source follower is degraded.

    Input resistance of C-G and output resistance of C-D amplifier is

    lowered. Output resistance of both C-S and C-G amplifiers is raised.

    Body effect increases input signal range.
