CB Transistor Characteristics Guide

1. This document outlines the procedure to plot the input and output characteristics of a transistor in a Common Base (CB) configuration. 2. Key equipment includes a BC107 transistor, power supply, resistors, ammeters, voltmeters and connecting wires. Input characteristics are obtained by varying the emitter-base voltage at different collector-base voltages while measuring emitter current. Output characteristics are obtained by varying the collector-base voltage at different base currents while measuring collector current. 3. Parameters like input resistance, reverse voltage gain, output resistance and forward current gain are calculated from the input and output characteristic curves. Precautions are outlined to avoid exceeding transistor ratings and ensure proper connections.

1. Plot the input characteristics for different values of VCB by taking VEE on X-axis
and IE on Y-axis taking VCB as constant parameter.
2. Plot the output characteristics by taking VCB on X-axis and taking IC on Y-axis
taking IE as a constant parameter.

Input Characteristics:

1. To obtain input resistance, find VEE and IE for a constant VCB on one of the input
characteristics.
2. Input impedance = hib = Ri = VEE / IE (VCB = constant)
3. Reverse voltage gain = hrb = VEB / VCB (IE = constant)

Output Characteristics:

1. To obtain output resistance, find IC and VCB at a constant IE.


2. Output admitance = hob = 1/Ro = IC / VCB (IE = constant)
3. Forward current gain = hfb = IC / IE (VCB = constant)

Precautions:

1. While performing the experiment do not exceed the ratings of the transistor. This may
lead to damage the transistor.
2. Connect voltmeter and ammeter in correct polarities as shown in the circuit diagram.
3. Do not switch ON the power supply unless you have checked the circuit connections
as per the circuit diagram.
4. Make sure while selecting the emitter, base and collector terminals of the transistor.
