Construct the circuit below according to the type of transistor you have.
Let [math]R_E = 100 \Omega[/math].
[math]V_{CC} \lt 5 Volts[/math] variable power supply
[math]V_{BE}= 1\ V[/math].
Find the resistors you need to have
[math]I_B = 2 \mu A[/math] , [math]5 \mu A[/math] , and [math]10 \mu A[/math]
By measurements I was able to find that [math]V_{BE}= 0.6\ V[/math]. So I am going to use this value. Also let picks up [math]V_{BB}= 1.6\ V[/math]. So my current [math]I_B = \frac{V_{BB} - V_{BE}}{R_B} = \frac{(1.6 - 0.6)\ V}{R_B} = \frac{1.0\ V}{R_B}[/math].
Now to get [math]I_B = 2\ \mu A[/math] I need to use [math]R_B = \frac{1.0\ V}{2\ \mu A} = 500\ k\Omega[/math]
To get [math]I_B = 5\ \mu A[/math] I need to use [math]R_B = \frac{1.0\ V}{5\ \mu A} = 200\ k\Omega[/math]
To get [math]I_B = 10\ \mu A[/math] I need to use [math]R_B = \frac{1.0\ V}{10\ \mu A} = 100\ k\Omega[/math]
Measure the emitter current [math]I_E[/math] for several values of [math]V_{CE}[/math] by changing [math]V_{CC}[/math] such that the base current [math]I_B = 2 \mu[/math] A is constant. [math]I_B \approx \frac{V_{BB}-V_{BE}}{R_B}[/math]

5.) Graph [math]I_C[/math] -vs- [math]V_{CE}[/math] for each value of [math]I_B[/math] and [math]V_{CC}[/math] above. (40 pnts)
6.) Overlay points from the transistor's data sheet on the graph in part 5.).(10 pnts)
Questions
- Compare your measured value of [math]h_{FE}[/math] or [math]\beta[/math] for the transistor to the spec sheet? (10 pnts)
- What is [math]\alpha[/math] for the transistor?(10 pnts)
- The base must always be more _________(________) than the emitter for a npn (pnp)transistor to conduct I_C.(10 pnts)
- For a transistor to conduct I_C the base-emitter junction must be ___________ biased.(10 pnts)
- For a transistor to conduct I_C the collector-base junction must be ___________ biased.(10 pnts)
Measure the Base-Emmiter breakdown voltage. (10 pnts)
I expect to see a graph [math](I_{B} -vs- V_{BE} )[/math] and a linear fit which is similar to the forward biased diode curves. Compare your result to what is reported in the data sheet.
