BJT Bias II

By Abe Michelen
From Electronics I Laboratory Manual

The Theory section of this experiment is the same as the one presented in Experiment 9.  It is very important for the student to review Section 9.4 on in order to completely understand this experiment.

It is also important for the reader to compare the results of this experiment with the results of Experiment 9.  In this way the student will have a much better understanding of the important concepts of DC biasing and the stability of transistor circuits in particular, and semiconductor devices in general.

Power Amplifiers
Power amplifiers deliver a specific amount of AC power to a load. They are used in audio frequency and radio frequency applications.
Gate Turn-off (GTO) Thyristors
Gate turn-off thyristors (GTOs) are four-layer PNPN devices that act as switches, rectifiers, and voltage regulators. Like other thyristors, GTOs can be turned on by the application of a positive gate signal (g > 0); however, unlike other more conventional devices that can be turned off only at a zero crossing of current, GTOs can be turned off at any time by the application of a gate signal equal to zero.
Unijunction Transistors (UJT)
Unijunction transistors (UJT) are three-terminal devices that exhibit a negative resistance characteristic.
Diacs
Diacs are bi-directional diodes that switch AC voltages and trigger silicon controlled rectifiers (SCRs) and triacs. Except for a small leakage current, diacs do not conduct until the breakover voltage is reached.
