Datasheet and Calculations

DC supply voltage VCC

VCC = 12V

Choose a general purpose NPN small signal

transistor and download a datasheet.

Transistor type 2N3904

Quiescent Collector Current Iq

Quiescent Collector Current Iq

=150mA

Value of the load resistor

RL using half the supply
voltage VCC divided by IC

RL = 100K
Nearest preferred value = 100K

Value of VE and RE
VE =10% to 15% of VCC

VE =1.2V
RE =5.6K
Nearest preferred value = 5.6K

Estimated value of base current IB

a. Estimated current gain hfe (from data sheet)
b. Base current IB = IC/ hfe

hfe = 100
IB = 1.5mA

Value of VB
VB should be about 0.7V (700mV) higher than VE

VB =1.9V

DC bias network current.

The current flowing through R1 and R2 will be:
IB x 10

Bias Network Current

IR1R2=15mA

The resistance for R1

R1 =47K
Nearest preferred value = 47K

Calculate The resistance for R2

The base voltage VB, divided by the
current through R1 and R2

R2 =62K
Nearest preferred value = 62K

Measure the collector, base and emitter

voltages and write down their measured
values.
VC approx VCC x 0.5
VB approx 0,7V higher than VE
VE approx 10% to 15% of VCC

VC = 6V
VB =1.9V
VE =1.2V

Choose an initial value for C1 and C2

C1 and C2 = 6.8 F

Choosing a value for C3

Value of C3 = 1.5 F Xc at 20Hz
