Experiment #09: Study of Transistor Characteristics Objective

The document describes an experiment to analyze the input-output characteristics of a common base transistor configuration. Key components used include a BC107/547 transistor, resistors, a DC power supply, voltmeter, and ammeter. The procedure involves measuring the input characteristics by varying the base-collector voltage from 0-2V and recording the corresponding emitter current and base-emitter voltage. Output characteristics are also measured by varying the emitter current from 0-2mA and recording the collector current and base-collector voltage. Observations are tabulated and graphs are plotted.

Experiment #09

Study of Transistor Characteristics

Objective:
Design and Analyze input output characteristics of common base transistor
configuration.

Apparatus:
1. Transistor BC 107/547
2. Resistor 1k
3. DC voltmeter
4. DC ammeter
5. DC power supply
6. Bread board
7. Connecting wires

Theory:
Transistor is bipolar junction device made from doping of semiconductor. In transistors one
region is common called base. There are two types of transistors one is NPN and other is PNP. If
a n-type region is surrounded by two p-type region transistor is PNP and p-type is surrounded by
two n-type regions then it is called NPN transistor.

Symbols of NPN and PNP transistor as follow:


Transistor is used in different configurations such as common base, common emitter, common
collector.

Common base:
PNP

NPN

Common emitter:
NPN

PNP
Common collector:
NPN

PNP

Applications:
Transistors are used as an amplifier, as a switch, integrated circuit.
Procedure:
1. Determine the collector, base, emitter with the help of digital voltmeter.
2. Connect dc supply channel 1 to emitter in series with resistor and ammeter such that
it forward biased the region.
3. Connect voltmeter parallel to emitter negative terminal in case of NPN and positive
terminal in case of PNP transistor and remaining terminal to base of transistor.
4. Connect dc supply channel 2 to collector in series with resistors and ammeter such
that it reverse biased the region.
5. Connect the voltmeter parallel to collector to base according to VCC battery.
6. Now first for input characteristics adjust VCB=0 and take readings of IE & VBE.
7. For output characteristics adjust IE=0 and take readings of VBC and ICB.
8. Take number of readings by changing the value of IE at regular steps.

Observation and calculations:

Precautions:
1. Connection should be neat and tight.
2. While making connections of circuit switch off DC power supply.
3. Electrical wire insulation should not be damaged.
4. Jumper wires should not touch each other.
5. Connect the terminals of power supply, then adjust the voltage to desired value
and switch on the output of DC power supply.
