DC Transistor Curves

Transistor circuit

  1. Identify the type of transistor you are using.
  2. Construct the circuit below according to the type of transistor you have.
  3. Measure the emitter current I_E for several values of V_{CE} by changing V_{CC} such that the base current IB=2μ A is constant. IBVbbVBERB
  4. Repeat the previous measurements for IB5 and 10μ A. Remember to keep ICVCE<Pmax so the transistor doesn't burn out
  5. Graph IC -vs- VCE for each value of IB and VCC above. (40 pnts)
  6. Draw the Pmax curve on the above graph shading in the forbidden region.(10 pnts)

Questions

  1. What is hFE or β for the transistor? (10 pnts)
  2. What is α for the transistor?(10 pnts)
  3. The base must always be more _________(________) than the emitter for a npn (pnp)transistor to conduct I_C.(10 pnts)
  4. For a transistor to conduct I_C the base-emitter junction must be ___________ biased.(10 pnts)
  5. For a transistor to conduct I_C the collector-base junction must be ___________ biased.(10 pnts)
