VOLTAGE DIVIDER BIAS CIRCUIT
Provides good Q-point stability with a single polarity supply voltage
This
beta.
is the biasing circuit wherein, ICQ and VCEQ are almost independent of
The level of IBQ will change with beta so as to maintain the values of ICQ and
VCEQ almost same, thus maintaining the stability of Q point.
Two methods of analyzing a voltage divider bias circuit are:
Exact method : can be applied to any voltage divider circuit
Approximate method : direct method, saves time and energy,
st
step: Locate capacitors and replace them with an open circuit

This is a very stable bias
VC circuit. The currents
E and voltages are nearly
independent of any
variations in .
DC Bias with Voltage Feedback
Another way to
improve the stability
of a bias circuit is to
add a feedback path
from collector to
base.
