Abstract: This describes three circuit configurations, four modes of operation and five schemes of biasing;
BIPOLAR JUNCTION TRANSISTOR
FOUR MODES OF OPERATION
| Type Of Biasing | Emitter-Base Junction | Base-Collector Junction |
| Forward Active Mode | Forward Biased | Reverse Biased |
| Inverse Active Mode | Reverse Biased | Forward Biased |
| Saturation Mode | Forward Biased | Forward Biased |
| Cut-Off Mode | Reverse Biased | Reverse Biased |

TYPES OF BIASING SYSTEM USED
(1)Two battery biasing:
The 3 circuit configurations shown in the previous page are the examples of this biasing.
(2)Fixed Bias:
This type of biasing system offers poor stability because it has negative feedback..
![]() |
(3)Potential Divider Bias:
This type of biasing also offers poor stability because this also has no negative feedback.
![]() |
(4)Self Biasing:
This type of biasing system offers high stability because of current series feed-back.
![]() |
(5)Widlar Biasing:
The above types of biasing systems are used normally for discrete circuits. But this type of biasing is used for IC technologies. It offers high stability because of voltage shunt feed-back.This is also known as collector to base feed-back.
