Different transistor configurations - common base, common emitter, and common collector - are presented along with their input/output characteristics and operating regions. Key parameters like alpha, beta, and power dissipation are also covered.
The document discusses field-effect transistors (FETs) and FET amplifiers. It describes the basic FET configurations including common-source, common-gate, and common-drain. It provides the small-signal models and calculations for voltage gain, input and output impedances for each configuration. Additional topics covered include biasing techniques, MOSFET models, and troubleshooting FET amplifiers.
The document discusses various biasing circuits for BJT transistors including:
1) Fixed bias, emitter-stabilized bias, and voltage divider bias circuits which establish a quiescent operating point (Q-point) for the transistor.
2) Load line analysis is used to determine the Q-point and saturation/cutoff points by considering the transistor's I-V characteristics and the external circuit.
3) DC bias circuits can be analyzed by applying Kirchhoff's laws to the base-emitter and collector-emitter loops.
