THEORY Transistor characteristics are the curves, which represent relationship between different dc currents and voltages of a transistor. These are helpful in studying the operation of a transistor when connected in a circuit. The three important characteristics of a transistor are: 1. Input characteristic. 2. Output characteristic. 3. Constant current transfer characteristic. Input Characteristic : In common collector configuration, it is the curve plotted between the input current (IB) verses input voltage (VBC) for various constant values of output voltage (VEC). This characteristic reveals that for fixed value of output voltage VEC, It is quite different from CB and CE configuration. This different is due to the fact that input voltage VBC is largely determined by the value of VEC. As the base to collector voltage increases, VBE is reduced thereby reducing IB. The approximated plot for input characteristic is shown in fig. 1. Fig. 1 7
Output Characteristic : This is the curve plotted between the output current IE verses output voltage VCE for various constant values of input current IB. The output characteristic has three basic region of interest as indicated in fig.2 the active region, cutoff region and saturation region. In active region the collector base junction is reverse biased while the base emitter junction is forward biased. This region is normally employed for linear (undistorted) amplifier. In cutoff region the collector base junction and base emitter junction of the transistor both are reverse biased. In this region transistor acts as an OFF switch. In saturation region the collector base junction and base emitter junction of the transistor both are forward biased. In this region transistor acts as an ON switch. Fig. 2 8
Constant current transfer Characteristic : This is the curve plotted between output emitter current IE verses input base current IB for constant value of output voltage VCE. The approximated plot for this characteristic is shown in Fig 3. Fig. 3 9

Calculations : 1. Input resistance: It is the ratio of change in the input voltage VBC to change in the input current IB at constant value of output voltage VEC or it is the reciprocal of the slope obtained from the input characteristic. Mathematically To calculate input resistance determine the slope from the input characteristic curve obtained from observation Table 1. Reciprocal of this slope will give the required input resistance. 2. Output resistance: It is the ratio of change in the output voltage VEC to change in the output current IE at constant value of input current IB or it is the reciprocal of the slope obtained from the output characteristic. Mathematically To calculate output resistance determine the slope from the output characteristic curve obtained from observation Table 2. Reciprocal of this slope will give the required output resistance. 3. Current gain: It is the ratio of change in the output current I E to change in the input current IB at constant value of output voltage VEC or it is the slope obtained from the constant current transfer characteristic. It is denoted by αac 17
Mathematically αac = Slope of constant current transfer characteristic = IE IB To calculate current gain, determine the slope from the constant current transfer characteristic curve obtained from observation Table 3. This slope is the required current gain. Results : Input resistance Rin = Output resistance Rout = Current Gain αac = 18
