Theory:
The process of giving proper supply voltages and resistance for obtaining the desired Q-point is called
biasing. The circuits used for getting the desired and proper operating point are known as Biasing
circuits .
Fixed bias:
Also known as Base Resistor method. By the proper selection of Rb,which is connected between
positive terminal of supply vcc and base of the transistor, the required zero signal base current can be
made to flow.
Advantages:
 Simplicity
 Small number of components required
 The base current becomes largely independent of the voltage Vbc if the supply voltage is very
large as compared to Vbc of the transistor.
Collector feedback bias:
This circuit is same as base bias circuit expect that Rb is connected to collector rather than to Vcc.
Rb acts as a feedback resistor.
Advantage:
 Considerable improvement in the stability
Voltage Divider Bias:

Theory:
Principle :
It is a circuit which converts alternating voltage or current into pulsating voltage or current during
both half cycle of input. In full wave rectifier current flows through the load in the same direction for both half
cycles of input AC voltage. This can be achieved with two diodes working alternatively.
Working :
During the positive half cycle one diode conducts and supplies current to the load. During the
negative half cycle the other diode conducts and current flows through the load in the same direction. Thus the full
wave rectifier produces continuous pulsating DC output.

Voltmeter (0-30)V
Ammeter(0-30)mA
Theory:
A DC power supply which maintains the o/p voltage constant irrespective of the AC mains fluctuations or
load variations is a regulator. It is called as a series voltage regulator because the transistor is in series with the
load.
When a zener diode is operated in the breakdown region it maintains constant voltage across the load. The
series limiting resistance limits the current. As a load current increases, zener diode current increases so that
current through RL is maintained constant. The o/p voltage is given by Vo=Vi-IRL.
Procedure:
Connections are made as shown in circuit diagram. For line regulation the R L is kept constant at some
resistance values and for different values of input, the output is noted. Graphs are drawn between output voltage
and input voltage.
For load regulation, introduce an ammeter between the emitter and the variable resistance. Keep the input
voltage at 10V.For different values of R L measure the output current and voltage. Graphs are drawn between
output voltage and load current.

Regulated Power Supply RPS (0-30) V
Zener diode
Resistor 1 KΩ
Voltmeter(0-10) V
Ammeter(0-30) mA
Theory:
A power supply consists of transformer and filter. But such a simple system suffers the following defects.
1. Output voltage fluctuates as input changes due to the fluctuation in DC load current.
2. Temperature coefficient of the device causes the change.
The power supply will have better regulation if all the above factors are kept at minimum values.
Consider the Zener shunt regulator shown in the diagram. Since the diode is connected in parallel the circuit
is called the shunt regulator. A resistance is connected in series to limit the current in the circuit. Here R s is
known as the current limiting resistor. For proper operation in reverse break down region, Vin must be
greater than the zener voltage Vz.
1. Varying input voltage:
As the input voltage increases the current also increases. As long as Vin > Vz. the output voltage is constant.
Since Vz. and Rl are fixed IL remains constant. As Is increases, Iz also increases. The value of Rs is chosen
such that Iz does not increase beyond the maximum value.
As input voltage reduces, Is reduces that in turn reduces IsRs . As long as Vs > Vz., VL remains constant. Since
IL is fixed, as Is reduces so that Iz reduces. Rs is chosen such that the current Iz is not below the minimum rated
value so as to keep it in breakdown region.
2. Varying Load Resistance:
As RL increases the load current reduces. This causes Iz to increase. So the value of IS and IS Rs remains
constant. Thus VL is constant.
3. Optimum value of Rs:
The value of Rs must be properly selected to fulfill the following requirements .
1. When input voltage and load current is maximum, sufficient current must be supplied to keep the zener
diode in the breakdown region.
2. The input voltage is maximum and load current is minimum, Zener current must not increase above the
maximum rated value.
Procedure:
1. The circuit connections are made as per the circuit diagram.
2. The input voltage is varied within the limits and the corresponding output voltage is noted down by
keeping RL constant.
3. Similarly the value of RL is varied and the output voltage is noted down by keeping V in
constant. It is noted that the output voltage is constant with respect to input.

VS= 16V,VZ = 6.2V,IS = 10mA

DESIGN AND TESTING OF RC COUPLED TRANSISTOR AMPLIFIER
Aim:

the gain bandwidth product.

2. Resistors – 120KΩ ,56KΩ ,4.7KΩ ,12KΩ.
3. Capacitors – 0.33µF(2 nos.),470µF

5. CRO
6. Audio Frequency Oscillator (AFO).
Theory:
The RC coupled amplifier is the most popular type of coupling, because it is cheap and provides
excellent audio fidelity over a wide range of frequencies. It is usually employed for voltage
amplification. A coupling capacitor is used to connect the output of first stage to the base of the next
stage and so on. As the coupling from one stage to another stage is achieved by a coupling capacitor
followed by a connection of shunt resistor .This amplifier is called as resistance capacitance coupled
amplifier.
When AC signal is applied to the base of the first transistor, it appears in the amplified form across
its collector load. The amplified signal developed across RC is given to base of the next stage through
the signal. In this way the cascaded stages amplify the signal of low and high frequencies where it is
uniform over mid frequency range.
Design:
The voltage gain of the circuit is Av = hfe (Rc || Rf ) / hfe.
1. For large voltage gain hfe must be high. Therefore Ic will be high. Then Rc will be low. Therefore Av
again reduces.
2. To increase Av if Rc increased, Ic decreases. But a minimum Ic of 500μA is necessary for small
signal operation. Therefore Ic=1mA mostly.
3. Thus for given I c for large Rc,VRC increases ,Vce & Ve decreases. But Vce
should be atleast 3V to ensure that transistor operates in active region.
4. Select Rc<<< RL because RL should have little effect on Av of the circuit.
5. Minimum Ve=5V for good bias stability.
When Vcc = 10V, Ve = 3V (when Vcc <3V it results in poor stability)
Vcc = VRC+Vce+Ve ;
RC = VRC/Ie
Re = Ve / Ic (since Ic=Ie)
BIAS RESISTOR:
Select I2 = Io /10 gives good bias stability
R2 = Vb/ I2
R1 =( Vcc – Vb) / (I2 + Ib)
BY PASS CAPACITORS:
The circuit’s lower 3 dB frequency is determined by C2,
1 /(2*π*f1 *C2) = hfe / ( 1 + hfe) from which C2 can be found.
SHUNTING CAPACITOR:
The circuit’s higher 3 dB frequency is set by including a small capacitor to shunt the output
terminals to ground.
1 /(2*π*f2 *C4)-Re//RL
From which C4 can be found.
COUPLING CAPACITOR:
V1-V2/(Xc2+Z1)*ZL if Xc2 increases, V1 decreases.
Therefore choose Xc1=Z1 /10.
Vo-Vc/(Xc3+RL)*RL, if Xc3 increases, V2 decreses.
Therefore choose Xc3 = RL/10.
Procedure:
1. Connections are made as per the circuit diagram.
2. The input voltage Vin is initially kept constant at a particular values say 0.04volt.
3. By slowly varying the frequency range from a low value say 100Hz to a high valve say 100 Khz,
the corresponding values of the output voltage Va are noted down and tabulated.
4. The gain in db is then calculated using the formula 20 log V o/Vin.
5. A graph is plotted with gain in db along Y axis and frequency along X axis in a semilog sheet.

6. Optimizing the design of electronic circuit’s in the term of circuit’s parameters.
SPICE is a general-purpose circuits program that simulates electronic circuits. SPICE can perform various
analyses of electronic circuits: the operating (or quiescent) points of transistor, a time-domain response, a smallsignal frequency response, and so on. SPICE contains models for common circuits elements, active as well as
passive, and it is capable of simulating most electronic circuits. It is a versatile program and is widely used in
industries and universities. The acronym SPICE stands for Simulation Program With Integrated Circuit
Emphasis.
PSpice,which uses the same algorithm as SPICE and is a member of the SPICE family,is equally useful
for simulating all types of circuits in a wide range of application.
PSpice allows various types of analysis.
DC Analysis is used for circuits with time-invariant sources (e.g., steady-state dc source). It calculates all
node voltages and branch currents over a range of values, and their quiescent (dc) values are the outputs.
Transient analysis is used for circuits with time-variant sources (e.g., ac sources and switched dc sources). It
calculates all node voltages and branch currents over a time interval, and their instantaneous values are the
output.
AC Analysis is used for small-signal analysis of circuits with sources of variable frequencies. It calculates all
node voltages and branch currents over a range of frequencies, and their magnitude and phase angles are the
outputs.
Limitations of PSpice:
1. As a circuit’s simulator, PSpice
is restricted to circuits with 10 transistors only. However, the
professional DOS(or production)version can simulate a circuit with up to 2000 bipolar transistors(or 150
MOSFETs)
2. The program is not interactive; thats, the circuits cannot be analyzed for various component values
without editing the program statements.
3. PSpice does not support an interactive method of solution. If the elements of circuits are specified, the
output can be predicted. On the other hand, if the output is specified, PSpice cannot be uses to synthesize
the circuit’s elements.
4. The PC version needs 512 kilobytes of memory(RAM) to run.
5. Distortion analysis is not available in Spice. SPICE2 allows distortion analysis, but it gives wrong
answers.
6. The student version will run with or without the floating-point co-processor (8087,80287,or 80387). If the
co-processor is present, the program will run at full speed; otherwise it will run 5 to 15 times slower. The
professional version requires a co-processor; it is not optional.
