Module 26B: Transistor Theory B (Optional)
Suggested Time: 15-20 hours
Level: Advanced
Prerequisite: Modules 24A and 26A
Outcome
Analyze electronic circuits that contain negative-positive-negative (NPN) and positive-negative-positive (PNP) transistors.
Indicators
(a) Compare the characteristics and applications of transistor amplifier circuits (i.e., common-emitter, common-collector and common-base).
(b)

Draw schematic diagrams showing correct biasing (i.e., polarity and voltage level) of an NPN and PNP transistor in a simple

  • common-emitter circuit;
  • common-collector circuit; and,
  • common-base circuit.
(c)

Troubleshoot an altered

  • common-emitter amplifier circuit;
  • common-collector amplifier; and,
  • common-base amplifier.
(d) Explain how a small change in base voltage causes a large change in collector voltage in common-emitter and common-collector circuits.
(e) Explain how a small change in emitter voltage causes a large change in collector voltage in a common-base circuit.
(f) Compare the purpose and application of various types (e.g., direct, resistive-capacitive, impedance and transformer) of coupling.
