    USING THE TRANSISTOR IN A COMMON-COLLECTOR AMPLIFIER


    TITLE

    EXPERIMENT NO. 9

    DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

    College of Engineering
    Central Mindanao University
    Musuan, Bukidnon

    2nd Semester, SY 2023-24


    OBJECTIVES:
    At the end of the exercises, the student must be able to:
    1. Measure the DC bias voltages of a Common-Collector amplifier.
    2. Calculate the voltage gain and examine the input-output waveform relationships in a
    Common- Collector Amplifier circuit.

    MATERIALS:
     VOM
     Plug-in Board
     Transistor: 2N3904 (1)
     Power supply
     Connecting wires
     Resistors: 18 KΩ (1), 3.9KΩ (1), 1.2 KΩ (1), 330Ω (1)
     Signal Generator
     Oscilloscope
     Capacitor: 3.3 µF (1)

    PROCEDURES:

    1. Connect the circuit shown in Figure 1. Do not turn on the power supply yet and do not
    apply any signal from the signal generator.

    Measuring the DC bias voltages of the Common- Collector Amplifier

    2. Turn ON the power supply.


    3. With no AC input signal (from the signal generator), measure the DC bias voltages of
    the circuit as indicated in Table 1.

    TABLE 1

    CE AMPLIFIER DC BIAS VOLTAGES


    VB VC VE VBE VCE

     Are the approximately readings in Table 1 equal to the following:


    VB = 1.7v, VC = 6v, VE = 1v, VBE = 0.7v, VCE = 5v? ______________. If your
    answer is yes, then the transistor is ready to amplify an input signal. However, if
    your answer is no, check your readings and your circuit until you come up with
    the specified dc bias voltages.

    4. Using the oscilloscope, measure a 1KHz, 20 or 40mVp-p output voltage from the signal
    generator and connect this signal to points A and B of the circuit in Figure 1.
    5. Connect the channel 1 probe of the oscilloscope to points A and B and the channel 2
    probe to points C and D of the circuit in Figure 1. Set the oscilloscope to either ALT or
    CHOP mode.
     Observe and compare the input and output waveforms; is the output waveform
    larger than the output waveform?______________.
     Is this characteristic of a Common- Collector Amplifier?________________.

    6. Draw the input and output waveforms on the graph provided below.
    Using the oscilloscope, measure the peak-to-peak voltage of the input signal (at points A
    and B or VIN) and on the output signal ( at points C and D or V OUT). Also calculate the
    voltage gain, AV, of the amplifier. Record all measured and calculated values below.

    places.
