Talk:Biasing (electronics)

[edit] Merge with common emitter, common collector, etc

On the topic of merging biasing (electronics) with common emitter, common base, common collector articles, my take (as a practicing electrical engineer) is that these are distinct concepts that deserve independent articles. Common emitter/base/collector are designations of circuit topologies -- the pattern of hookup. These patterns comes up again and again in electronics, thus the shorthand names, but the context may have nothing to do with biasing, for instance in bipolar digital logic. Admittedly the transistors must be properly biased to work, but the biasing is of a trivially simple nature. Biasing as a concept, on the other hand, is more akin to feedback and control theory. Many biasing techniques bear no particular relation to these various BJT topologies (e.g. automatic gain control). I think if we try to artificially merge the articles it will end up confusing readers who are trying to understand the underlying concepts. -- technopilgrim 21:32, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

That does make sense. Then let CC CB CE be on their individual pages, and the page links there. I've just done this, please take a look at the page and tell me what you think. Removing merger from CC CB CE. -Xcentaur 07:00, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

1.

Transistor amplifiers
Bipolar junction transistor: Common emitter • Common collector • Common base Field effect transistor: Common source • Common drain • Common gate Multiple transistors: Darlington transistor • Cascode • Parallel circuit

how do you add the 5 transistor biasing methods to this box?

2. Could someone take a look at Biasing and see what shd be done with that article?
