Analog circuits miscellaneous

  1. For a transistor, parameters are β = 180 and VA = 150V, and it is biassed at ICQ = 2m A. If collector of the tansistor is connected to the base terminal, t hen small signal resistaance re = vce/ ic of this two-terminal device is ____ Ω .
    1. 4.32
    2. 6.43
    3. 12.87
    4. None of the above
Correct Option: C

Since B– C junction is not reverse biased, therefore transistor continues to operate in the forwardactive-mode.

rπ =
(100)(0.0259)
= 2.33 kΩ

∴ re = (2.33k) | | (12.95) | | (75k) = 12.87 Ω
