In any bjt datasheet, we see hfe parameter is a variant parameter because it depends on temparature. Of course, in an analog circuit we would like it mostly invariant. How can we do it? I really need an answer about it. I think the only thing I don't understand still now on BJT is the question about hfe parameter.
you can cancel the variation hfe with temperature with a degradation resistance at the emitter or some sort of feed back
for feedback techniques check sedra chapter 8
For example,
You can bias a BJT with its base bias(Vbb) =Vcc*[Rb2/(Rb1+Rb2)], Then Ib=(Vbb-Vbe)/[Rbb+(hfe+1)Re] where Rbb=Rb1 || Rb2. Because Ic=hfe*Ib , as Rbb is small then Ic will be almost constant.
Well, if you have a mirror with two BJTs, and the areas are not equal, there will be some "amplification" factor, but in general, you don't use the current mirror to produce large gains.
hi
by temperture variation Bjt's parameter will vary. but how we can reduce these variation?
hfe and Vbe are the parameters that vary with temperature. variation of Vbe will cause variation in Ib and variation in Ib and hfe will cause variayion in Ic. by biasing the bjt by a diode with same Vbe parameter or a same bjt with conected bais and collector we can keep Ib constant against tempereture variation in fact we compensate this variation by variation in diode or bjt in bias circut
but about hfe we can use a resistor in emmiter of bjt the bigger resistor make Ic more constant but bigger resistor make the currnt lower and increase the loss. then we can use a currnt source by desired current and big resistance
note that useing a small resistor in bias circut (Rb) could not be a good sloutuon because decrise the input impedance
be happy
if you bjt is used in the integrated circuit , you can bias it with an internal referece bias current.
if not ,the discrete bjt's bias is normally formed by two big resistors
ratio, with a source feedback resisitor.
but the hfe's variation is not just decided by the temperature, it also varied with the differenct IC current.
