ใส่รูป
Procedure:
1. Pull down the File menu and open FIG16-1 Make sure that the circuit is as shown in Figure 16-1 Click the On-Off switch to run the analysis. Record the collector current (Ic), base current (Ib), and collector-emitter voltage (Vce)
Ic = Ib = Vce =
2. For the circuit in Figure 16-1, draw the dc load line on a copy of the 2N3904 collector characteristics plotted in Step7, Experiment 11.Based on the current and voltage readings in Step1 above, locate Q-point on the load line.
Question: Was the operating point (Q-point) close to the center of the load line? What advantage is this?
3. From the values measured in Step 1, calculate the current gain (βdc) for the 2N3904 trasistor
Question: How did the calculated value for the current gain (βdc)compare with the forward current gain (βF) in the model library for the 2N3904?
4. For the circuit in Figure 16-1, calculate the expected collector current(Ic) using the value for β calculated in Step 3. (Assume Vbb to be 0.7V)
Question: How did the calculated value for the collector current (Ic) compare with the measured value?
5. For the circuit in Figure 16-1, calculate the expected collector-emitter voltage (Vce) based on the value for Ic calculated in Step4.
Question: How did the calculated value for the collector-emitter voltage (Vce) compare with the measured value?
6. Double click transistor Q1, and then click Models. The 2N3904 transistor should be highlighted. Click Edit to see the 2N3904 parameters. Change the forward current gain coefficient(βF) from200 to 100, and then click OK. Click OK again on the Models window to return to the circuit You have changed the current gain (β) for the 2N3904 transistor from 200 to 100. This will allow you to examine the effect that changing transistors would have on the collector current (Q-point) for a-collector-feedback biased circuit. Click the On-Off switch to run the analysis. Record the collector current (IC), base current (Ib), and collector-emitter voltage (Vce).
NOTE: If you ate using this manual in a lab environment, you should change the 2N3904 in place of changing the current gain (β)
Ic = Ib = Vce =
7. Base on the new values for Vce and Ic, locate the new Q-point on the load line drawn in Step2. (Notice that the characteristic curves no longer have the correct base currents because changing β moved the curves).
Questions: Was there much change in the location of the operating point (Q-point) when the current gain (β) was changed from 200 to 100?
How did collector-feedback bias stability compare with base bias stability? With voltage-divider bias stability? With emitter bias stability?
8. Double click transistor Q1 and return the value of forward current gain (βF) back to 200 for the 2N3904 transistor. With emitter bias stability?
NOTE: If you are using this manual in a lab environment, you should change back to the original 2N4904 transistor.
Troubleshooting (Electronics Workbench only)
1. Pull down the File menu and open FIG16-2. Click the On-Off switch to run the analysis. Based on the measured voltages and currents, what is wrong with transistor Q1?
2. Pull down the File menu and open FIG16-3 Click the On-Off switch to run the analysis. Based on the measured voltages and currents, what is wrong with transistor Q1
