OUTLINE• BJT Amplifiers (cont’d)
– Common‐emitter topology– CE stage with emitter degeneration– Impact of Early effect (ro)
EE105 Fall 2007 Lecture 8, Slide 1 Prof. Liu, UC Berkeley
Reading: Finish Chapter 5.3.1
Emitter Degeneration• By inserting a resistor in series with the emitter, we “degenerate” the CE stage. g g
• This topology will decrease the gain of the amplifier but improve other aspects, such as linearity, and input
dimpedance.
EE105 Fall 2007 Lecture 8, Slide 2 Prof. Liu, UC Berkeley
Small‐Signal Analysis
• The gain of a degenerated CE stage = the total load resistance seen at the collector divided by 1/g plusresistance seen at the collector divided by 1/gm plus the total resistance placed in series with the emitter.

Input Impedance of Degenerated CE Stage
• With emitter degeneration, the input impedance is increased from r to r + (β+1)R ― a desirable effectincreased from rπ to rπ + (β+1)RE a desirable effect.

Analysis by Inspection• This seemingly complicated circuit can be greatly simplified by first recognizing that the capacitor creates an AC short to ground, and gradually transforming the circuit to a known topology.

Bad Input Connection
• Since the microphone has a very low resistance (connecting the base of Q1 to ground), it attenuates ( g 1 g )the base voltage and renders Q1 with a very small bias current.
EE105 Fall 2007 Lecture 8, Slide 16 Prof. Liu, UC Berkeley
Use of Coupling Capacitor
• A capacitor is used to isolate the DC bias network from the microphone and to short (or “couple”) thefrom the microphone , and to short (or couple ) the microphone to the amplifier at higher frequencies.
EE105 Fall 2007 Lecture 8, Slide 17 Prof. Liu, UC Berkeley
DC and AC Analysis• The coupling capacitor is replaced with an open circuit for DC analysis, and then replaced with a shortcircuit for DC analysis, and then replaced with a short circuit for AC analysis.

Bad Output Connection• Since the speaker has an inductor with very low DC resistance, connecting it directly to the amplifier , g y pwould ~short the collector to ground, causing the BJT to go into deep saturation mode.
EE105 Fall 2007 Lecture 8, Slide 19 Prof. Liu, UC Berkeley
Use of Coupling Capacitor at Output• The AC coupling indeed allows for correct biasing. However due to the speaker’s small inputHowever, due to the speaker s small input impedance, the overall gain drops considerably.
