PartSim is used in this example to simulate the Common Emitter Amplifier. The base bias voltage is set with the voltage divider arrangement. The input signal is amplified by the 2N2222 NPN transistor.
Emitter/source degeneration is a technique used to guard against drift in transistor parameters like beta. In addition, it helps linearize the small signal output. The transfer characteristic of a BJT ...
The circuit in Figure 1 sinks a constant current (ICE3) through Q3’s collector and emitter. This design is balanced so changes in Q3’s base-emitter voltage (VBE) don’t affect the current sink’s ...
