Q.12. In audio amplifiers, precise transistor biasing is critical to prevent signal distortion and ensure
reliable operation. A common challenge is to maintain the transistor in the active region
regardless of variations in transistor parameters (e.g., beta) and external conditions (e.g.,
temperature). Voltage divider biasing offers a stable biasing technique, making it suitable for
audio amplification applications.
Case Scenario
1. Application: Low-power audio amplification for portable devices.
2. Transistor: NPN BJT (e.g., BC547).
3. Power Supply: Single DC voltage source of VCC = 12V.
4. Load: 8-ohm speaker.
5. Design Requirements:
o Quiescent point (Q-point) in the middle of the load line for maximum signal swing.
o Stable biasing to minimize the effects of beta variation.
