Title: Biasing... AHHHHH HEADACHE !!!!
Post by: Phorhas on February 26, 2004, 01:06:09 AM
Hey guys...

Where can I find some good biasing articles and tutorials?
(or - I want to learn more about designing!)

thnx :)

Regards,
Dan.

Biasing what?   :?

and AMZ...or setup trimpots here there or everywhere...lol
 I like sometimes to start with the drain or collector resistance/
 following the voltage guides from GEO...what the different transistors need to be seeing to operate

Oops... you're right... biasing trannies (of all kinds) mainly, but tube and what-not is also on my list :)



P.S. How do know what voltages I should get?

The base should be a Si diode drop above the emitter (0.6 - 0.7v). Start there :)

Careful there, tubes are a whole other beast, and a high-voltage one at that. I think you would need to be more specific on what circuit and what transistor you want to bias to get much useful information.

First of all - thnx guys for responding...

But what I was aiming for is articles, lessons, tutorials and all that, considering biasing and trannies usage, availiable on the web... do you know of such
