Operating Point
The operating point is a fixed point on the
characteristics and is also called quiescent point,
denoted by Q-point.
The term biasing means the application of dc voltages used
to setup a fixed level of current and voltage.
This leads to an operating point in the region of
characteristics employed for amplification.

C
The maximum collector-to-emitter
voltage VCEmax A
No bias(A):
Figure 4.1: Operating points
The device would initially be completely off and zero
current through the device and zero voltage across it.
This leads to that only part of the input signal is
applied to the circuit.
So this point is not suitable.
Small-voltage biasing(C):
This point would allow some positive and
negative variation of the output signal.
B
But the peak-to-peak value would be limited D
by the proximity of VCE = 0 and IC = 0.
C
Acceptable biasing(B): C
VCE = VCC - IC RC
This states that the voltage across collector-emitter
of a transistor is the supply voltage less the drop
across RC.
Example 4.1:
Determine the following for the fixed-bias configuration.
1. IBQ , ICQ and VCEQ.
2.VB , VC and VBC .
Solution:
2. VB = VBE = 0.7V
VC = VCE = 6.83V
VBC = VB – VC
Example 4.2:
Determine the saturation level for the network.
Solution:
Load-Line Analysis
Now we investigate how the network parameters
define the possible range of Q-points and how the
actual Q-point is determined.
The network is shown in the figure.
An output equation relates the variables IC
and VCE in the following manner:

VCE =VCC - IC RC
It is obvious that the relationship between variables
IC and VCE is a linear one, i.e., a straight line.

So the first point is (VCC ,0). For the other point :

If RC changed while VCC and
VCC/RC2 Constant IB
IB are held, the load line
will shift as shown in the
VCC/RC3
figure.

Example 4.3
As shown in the figure, given the load line and the
defined Q-point, determine the required values of
VCC , RC and RB for a fixed-bias configuration.
Solution:
From the figure, we can get that:
