Why must a bias network be designed for the whole beta range rather than its nominal value?

  • A.Devices in one batch vary widely in current gain
  • B.The nominal figure is measured at a current the stage will not use
  • C.Beta falls once the device has been in service for some time
  • D.The nominal figure applies only at the maximum rated temperature

Answer: A

A data sheet quoting one hundred to three hundred means any circuit whose operating point follows beta will differ threefold across a production batch, so both extremes must be checked. The measurement current is stated and can be allowed for, beta does not degrade in normal service, and the figure is quoted at a stated temperature rather than the maximum. Designing against a range rather than a value is what makes a circuit manufacturable in quantity rather than merely functional once.
