Module 4 Lab: BJT Characterization Introduction
In this experiment we will learn how to measure the DC characteristics of Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs). The relationships between voltages and currents in a BJT determine its performance and DC characteristics. We will draw the characteristic Ic vs. Vce curves and will measure the β for the transistor.
Read the Lab outline entirely before starting your work. Remember that your lab report will need to include your measurements, calculations, screenshots, etc. as indicated at the end of this outline. Procedure
1. Collector Characteristics
1.1 Start this lab by building the circuit shown in Figure 4.1. BJTs are under the ”Transistors" family. Locate the 2N3904, a very commonly used transistor. The symbol in your version of Multism may be different from the one of the figures, but as we learned, both symbols are interchangeable. Figure 4. 1: Circuit to Measure Collector Characteristics
You will notice that this circuit uses a potentiometer. Locate the appropriate potentiometers in the Library
as shown in Figure 4.2. DO NOT use the “variable resistor” component.

Figure 4. 2: Library for Potentiometers
Build the circuit shown in Figure 4.1. You will notice how the value of both potentiometers is controlled by the same key. With this, if we change the value of one, the other changes in the same manner. This is not what we want. We want to change them independently. To do this, double-click on one of the two potentiometers. To be consistent with figure 4.1 you may want to change the one on the right. You should see the dialog screen shown in Figure 4.3

Figure 4. 3: Parameters for Potentiometers
The important parameter here is “Key.” It assigns the letter on your keyboard to change the value of the potentiometer. Change the one on the right to B. This way, the key A changes the value of the potentiometer on the left, and the key B changes the potentiometer on the right.
The other parameter that we want to change is “Increment.” Change it from the default value of 5% to 1%. This will allow us to fine-tune the values as needed.
Pressing “A” will increase the value, while pressing “SHIFT + A” will decrease it. The same with B.
Also, note that it is possible to change the values of the potentiometers during the simulation. In doing so,
allow a few seconds for the values to stabilize before recording your measurements.
1.3 Adjust the potentiometer R1 and measure the voltage across R4 until it reaches approximately 3.3 V. This indicates a base current Ib = 10 µA.
1.4 Change now the 5 kΩ potentiometer R2 until the voltage Vce is approximately 2.0 V.
If you cannot reach these values, get them as close as you possibly can.
1.5 With a DMM, measure the collector current Ic (Remember that the DMM must be connected in series
with the circuit and must be configured to measure Amps in DC). Record these values.
1.6 Repeat 1.5 for the following values of Vce: 2V, 4V, 6V, 8V, 10V, 12V, 14V, 16V.
