Transistor Amplifier Fundamentals

The document discusses the use of transistors as low power amplifiers. It defines faithful amplification as adding strength to an input signal without changing its shape. A transistor can act as a current amplifier when configured in common emitter mode, with collector current being proportional to base current. A transistor can also act as a voltage amplifier, where the amplified output voltage is out of phase with the input signal voltage due to the constant supply voltage. The document outlines different transistor operating regions and biasing methods required for amplification applications.

Transistor as a current amplifier

In CE configuration,
IC=ꞵ IB ------------------(1)
IC- Collector current
IB - Base current

In CC configuration,
IE=(1+ꞵ) IB ---------------(2)
∵ ꞵ is very large
∴ IE is large
In CB Configuration ,
Ic= αIE --------------------------------(3)
∵ α is less than unity
CB configuration is not used for current amplification

Voltage Amplifier and Phase reversal

By applying KVL to outer loop,


VCE=VCC – ICRC
When Signal voltage increases in positive direction
∵VCC is constant
∴ VCE increases in negative direction
∴ VCE and signal voltage are out of phase with
each other
