APPLIED ELECTRONICS Outcome 1

 Any electronic system can be broken down into three distinct
 parts


   INPUT                        PROCESS                       OUTPUT

                     We are going to start by looking at
                        INPUT TRANSDUCERS


INPUT transducers convert a change in physical conditions (e.g. temperature)
into a change in an electrical property (e.g. voltage) which can then be
processed electronically to produce either a direct measurement of the physical
condition (temperature in oC) or to allow something to happen at a
predetermined level (e.g. switching ON the central heating at 20 °C).
APPLIED ELECTRONICS Outcome 1

Changes in the resistance of an input transducer must be converted to
changes in voltage before the signal can be processed. This is normally
done by using a voltage divider circuit.


                            Voltage divider circuits work on the basic
                            electrical principle that if two resistors are
                            connected in series across a supply, the
                            voltage load across each of the resistors will
                            be proportional to the value of the resistors.

         AMPLIFICATION and BIPOLAR JUNCTION
                    TRANSISTORS
        Input transducers rarely produce sufficient voltage to operate
    output transducers, (motors, bulbs, etc.) directly.

         To overcome this problem, we need to AMPLIFY their
output   voltage or current.

         Amplifying devices are said to be active components as opposed
         to non-amplifying components such as resistors, capacitors etc.
         which are known as passive components.

         The extra energy required to operate the active component
         comes from an external power source such as a battery,
         transformer, etc.
APPLIED ELECTRONICS Outcome 1

          AMPLIFICATION and BIPOLAR TRANSISTORS
The most common active device in an electronic system is the Bipolar Junction
Transistor (or simply transistor for short). Two types are available, NPN or PNP.


The transistor has to be
connected into circuits
correctly. The arrow head on
the emitter indicates the
direction of "conventional"
current flow (positive-to-
negative).


         NPN transistors operate when the base is made
         Positive
         PNP transistors operate when the base is made
         Negative

          is common to both input and

    maxima will cause the transistor to overheat and may damage it.

base emitter junction starts        to change
such that the base - emitter        voltage
remains at about 0.7 V.

         Although the transistor is a current amplifier, it can easily be
modified to amplify voltage by the inclusion of a load resistor, RL               in
the collector and/or emitter line.

Practical Considerations
        Care must be taken to
ensure that the maximum base
current of the   transistor is not
exceeded.

         When connecting the base
          of a transistor directly to a
source, a base protection resistor
should be included.           This will
limit the maximum             current     V in
into the base.

        Most data sheets will quote             0V
         the maximum collector
current and hFE and so the
maximum allowable base current
can be calculated.

  Practical Considerations
                                                 CURRENT FLOWING
If the transistor is to be connected to a        FROM Vcc INTO BASE

potential divider circuit then the
maximum possible current into the base                            Vcc
will depend on R1

                                            R1            RL
The maximum possible current
through R1 (and hence into the base)
would be =
                     VCC
                      R1                    R2            Re

hence if R1 is large, the base current                                0V
will be small and therefore no
damage should occur.

     Practical Considerations

If R1 is small (or has the capability of
going small e.g. using a variable resistor
as R1), a protection resistor must be
                                                             R       L
included in the base.                        R   1


                                                     R   b

If R1 = 0, the maximum possible current
into the base =
                        VCC
                                             R               R       e

       Increasing the gain of the circuit
    means:

        The switching action of the circuit is more
    immediate;                                             Tr1
        A very small base current is required
        in switching;
        The input resistance is very high.                         Tr2
         A popular way of cascading two
    transistors is to use a Darlington pair
    (Named after the person that first
    designed the circuit)

          If two transistors, each of gain 50 are

    The Darlington Pair


         In a Darlington pair, both
transistors have to be switched      on
since the collector-emitter current of
                                                 0.7V
Tr1 provides the base current for Tr2.
                                          1.4V
       In order to switch on the pair,
        each base-emitter voltage                       0.7V
would have to be 0.7V
                                                               0V



        The base-emitter voltage
required to switch on the pair
would therefore have to be
1.4V.

MOSFETS

   Although the base current in a transistor is usually small (< 0.1 mA),
    some input devices (e.g. a crystal microphone) have very small
    output currents. In many cases, this may not be enough to operate
    a bipolar transistor.
   In order to overcome this, a Field Effect Transistor (FET) can be
    used.

      It has a very high input resistance (unlike the
       transistor) and therefore requires very little current
       to operate it (typically 10-12 mA).                               SOURCE

      Since it operates using very little current, it is easy       FIELD EFFECT

       in your body.

The threshold gate voltage for the MOSFET
shown is 2 V. Calculate the gate voltage
required to ensure that a saturation current
of 10 mA flows through the load resistor.

Step 1

The Drain - Source channel acts as a
series resistor with the 100R, since the
current is the same in a series circuit,
the voltage over the 100R can be
calculated.

Using Ohm’s law

V = IR = 10 mA x 100 = 1 Volt

Using Kirchoff’s 2nd law,
the voltage over the channel + the
voltage over the load resistor = supply

For saturation to occur,
VDS = VGS-VT
VGS = VDS + VT

(a)   The motor should switch on when Vbe = 0.6V. For this condition, calculate the
      value of Rt.

      From the graph, determine the temperature at which the fan should switch on.

(b)   When the circuit is built and tested, it is found that the relay does not operate at
      the switch - on temperature.

      Suggest one reason why the transistor fails to operate the relay.

      Redraw the circuit diagram to show how a Darlington pair could be used to
      overcome this problem.

Applied electronics-outcome-1

  • 1. Dave’s Revision Notes APPLIED ELECTRONICS Outcome 1
  • 2. APPLIED ELECTRONICS Outcome 1 Outcome 1 - Design and construct electronic systems to meet given specifications When you have completed this unit you should be able to:  State and carry out calculations using the current gain and voltage gain equations.  Carry out calculations involving bipolar transistor switching circuits.  Carry out calculations involving MOSFET transistor circuits.  Identify and describe the uses of transistors in “push-pull” circuits.  Carry out calculations involving Darlington pair circuits.  Design transistor circuits for a given purpose.
  • 3. APPLIED ELECTRONICS Outcome 1 Before you start this unit you should have a basic understanding of:  Input and Output transducers  Voltage divider circuits  Ohm’s Law - relationship between V and I in a d.c. circuit  Kirchoff’s laws for current and voltage  The operational characteristics of various electronic components  Use of breadboards  Use of circuit test equipment: multimeter and oscilloscope
  • 4. APPLIED ELECTRONICS Outcome 1 Any electronic system can be broken down into three distinct parts INPUT PROCESS OUTPUT We are going to start by looking at INPUT TRANSDUCERS INPUT transducers convert a change in physical conditions (e.g. temperature) into a change in an electrical property (e.g. voltage) which can then be processed electronically to produce either a direct measurement of the physical condition (temperature in oC) or to allow something to happen at a predetermined level (e.g. switching ON the central heating at 20 °C).
  • 5. APPLIED ELECTRONICS Outcome 1 Changes in the resistance of an input transducer must be converted to changes in voltage before the signal can be processed. This is normally done by using a voltage divider circuit. Voltage divider circuits work on the basic electrical principle that if two resistors are connected in series across a supply, the voltage load across each of the resistors will be proportional to the value of the resistors. R2 Signal Voltage = × VCC Rtotal
  • 6. APPLIED ELECTRONICS Outcome 1 Common Input Transducers Physical condition to be Input Transducer Electrical property that monitored changes Temperature Thermistor Resistance Thermocouple Voltage Platinum Film Resistance Light LDR Resistance Selenium Cell Voltage/current Photo Diode Current/Resistance Distance Slide Potentiometer Resistance Variable Transformer Inductance Variable Capacitor Capacitance Force Strain Gauge Resistance Angle Rotary Potentiometer Resistance
  • 7. APPLIED ELECTRONICS Outcome 1 PUPIL ASSIGNMENT 1 Calculate the signal voltages produced by the following voltage divider circuits:
  • 8. APPLIED ELECTRONICS Outcome 1 AMPLIFICATION and BIPOLAR JUNCTION TRANSISTORS Input transducers rarely produce sufficient voltage to operate output transducers, (motors, bulbs, etc.) directly. To overcome this problem, we need to AMPLIFY their output voltage or current. Amplifying devices are said to be active components as opposed to non-amplifying components such as resistors, capacitors etc. which are known as passive components. The extra energy required to operate the active component comes from an external power source such as a battery, transformer, etc.
  • 9. APPLIED ELECTRONICS Outcome 1 AMPLIFICATION and BIPOLAR TRANSISTORS The most common active device in an electronic system is the Bipolar Junction Transistor (or simply transistor for short). Two types are available, NPN or PNP. The transistor has to be connected into circuits correctly. The arrow head on the emitter indicates the direction of "conventional" current flow (positive-to- negative). NPN transistors operate when the base is made Positive PNP transistors operate when the base is made Negative
  • 10. APPLIED ELECTRONICS Outcome 1 TRANSISTOR NOTATION Subscripts are normally used to indicate specific Voltages and Currents associated with transistor circuits, Ic - Collector current Ib - Base current V cc Ie - Emitter current VCC - Voltage of supply (relative to ground line) Vb - Voltage at the base junction (relative to ground line) R L V L Ve - Voltage at the emitter junction (relative to ground line) Vce - Voltage between the collector and emitter junction Ic Vbe - Voltage between the base and emitter junction VL - Voltage over the load resistor R b Ib V ce V be Ie V c V in V b R e V e V e 0V
  • 11. APPLIED ELECTRONICS Outcome 1 Common Emitter Mode b  The transistor can be used in OUTPUT different modes, the most e common of which is the common INPUT emitter mode. (So called because the emitter COMMON LINE is common to both input and output signals.) c  In the common emitter mode, a small current flowing between the base and emitter junction b will allow a large current to flow between the collector and emitter. b c e
  • 12. APPLIED ELECTRONICS Outcome 1 Common Emitter Mode c It can be seen that : b Ie = Ib + Ic b c Since Ib is usually much smaller than Ic, it follows that Ie is approximately = Ic e
  • 13. APPLIED ELECTRONICS Outcome 1 Common Emitter Mode Current Gain  The bipolar transistor is a current-controlled amplifying device  The current gain (or amplification) of the transistor is defined as the ratio of collector / base currents Collector current current gain = Base current Ic AI = Ib
  • 14. APPLIED ELECTRONICS Outcome 1 Common Emitter Mode Current Gain  The accepted symbol for transistor current gain in dc mode is, hFE  The maximum allowable currents will depend on the make of transistor used. These limits can be obtained from manufacturers' data sheets.  Forcing the transistor to carry currents greater than these maxima will cause the transistor to overheat and may damage it.  If the transistor is used to amplify a.c. signals then the gain is defined as, ∆I c h fe = ∆I b
