Learning Outcome
Able to describe and use the following:
Understand and describe the general current-voltage
characteristics for both the npn and pnp bipolar transistors.
Define the four modes of operation of a bipolar transistor.
Apply the piecewise linear model to the dc analysis and design of
various bipolar transistor circuits, including the understanding of
the load line.
Qualitatively understand how a transistor circuit can be used to
amplify time-varying signals.
Describe the small-signal hybrid- equivalent circuit of a bipolar
transistor and to determine the values of the small-signal hybridparameters.
Characterize the small-signal voltage and current gains and the
input and output resistances of a common-emitter amplifier, an
emitter-follower amplifier, and a common-base amplifier.
