Laboratory 18: Introduction to BJTMASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY 6.071 Introduction to Electronics, Signals and Measurement Spring 2006 Laboratory 18: Introduction to BJT Exercise 1. For this exercise, our first encounter with the BJT, we will explore its i-v characteristics with the aide of a prepared instrument. The instrument is called BJT1.vi and it is available for download from the Labs section. Build the circuit shown below and make the connections as indicated on the schematic. V CC V BB R B RCREVBEVCE++--ICIEI B VE+-VCACH0-, ACH1-, ACH2-, ACH3-, ACH4-ACH3+ ACH4+ACH0+ACH1+ACH2+supply+supply- For the transistor we are using the 2N3904 npn BJT whose pinout is CBE 22.071/6.071 Spring 2006. Chaniotakis, Cory Page1First look over the data sheet for the 2N3904 npn transistor and note the relevant operating and maximum characteristics. Find and list the values of the following parameters. 1. Maximum collector-emitter voltage: 2. Maximum collector current: 3. Transistor β (listed as ): FEh4. Base-emitter saturation voltage: 5. Collector emitter saturation voltage: Open the instrument BJT1.vi and note that it requires you to enter the values for the resistors Rc and RB. For RB use 100kΩ, and Rc=100 Ω and RE=2kΩ. Run the instrument, vary Vcc (do not exceed 10 Volts – the data acquisition system has been setup for the range -10V to +10V) and collect data and plot IC versus VCE for three different values of VBB (5V, 8V and 10V). From the data estimate the value of β. VBB VC IC 22.071/6.071 Spring 2006. Chaniotakis, Cory Page2VCEIC22.071/6.071 Spring 2006. Chaniotakis, Cory Page3Exercise 2. Build the circuit shown below with RC=2kΩ and RB=100kΩ. ICIBVCCVIVoRBRC For VI use the variable power supply (supply+) and measure it and the voltage Vo with the oscilloscope. For Vcc use +5 Volts. Collect the data and plot them on the figure below. Indicate the relevant parameters and regions of operation. VIV0 22.071/6.071 Spring 2006. Chaniotakis, Cory Page4Exercise 3. (For extra credit and only if you have time) Now let’s build the flashing circuit using a BJT. The circuit is shown below. For VI use a square wave varying between 0 and 5 Volts and observe the output. VCCVIRBRl How does this compare with the diode flasher circuit that you tested previously? 22.071/6.071 Spring 2006.
