Voltage Divider Bias

This is a very stable bias circuit.

The currents and voltages (IC

and VCE) are nearly independent

of any variations in .

Collector Feedback Configuration

Another way to

improve the stability

of a bias circuit is to

add a feedback path

from collector to base.

In this bias circuit

the Q-point is only

slightly dependent on

the transistor beta, .

From Kirchhoff’s voltage law:

Since IB << IC:

Knowing IC = IB and IE IC, the

loop equation becomes:

Solving for IB:


I IC B




Collector-Emitter Loop

Applying Kirchoff’s voltage law:

IE RE + VCE + I’CRC – VCC = 0

Since IC IC and IE IC :

IC(RC + RE) + VCE – VCC =0

Solving for VCE:

VCE = VCC – IC (RC + RE)
