ECE323 Basic Electronic Circuits Assignment 12

  1. For the circuit shown below, answer the questions below. Assume that RC = 1 kW, RB = 10 kW, VCC = 12 V, VCE = 0.3 V at saturation, VBE = 0.7 V, and b = 50.

    1. Find iC if VBB = 0.5 V.
    2. Find iC if VBB = 2.0 V.
    3. Find iC if VBB = 3.5 V.
    4. Find VBB required to saturate the transistor.

  2. Given the following circuit, with R1 = 200 kW, R2 = 50 kW, RC = 4 kW, and RE = 1 kW. Assume VCC = 15 V, VBE = 0.7 V and the transistor b = 200. Find VC, iC, Vo, VBB, and iB.

  3. Given the following circuit, in which RC = 3 kW, b = 80, VBE = 0.7 V, VCE = 8 V, and VCC = 15 V. Find iC and the value of RB.
