Stabilization is keeping (the Q point) fixed despite temperature changes and device replacement; it is affected by the temperature-dependent parameters , and .
Stabilization is the process of making the operating point — chiefly the collector current — independent of variations that tend to shift it. The main causes of shift are temperature changes and replacement of the transistor by another of the same type. A good biasing circuit (such as voltage divider bias) provides stabilization so that the Q point does not move.
Parameters affecting stabilization (all temperature dependent):
- Reverse saturation / leakage current : roughly doubles for every 10 degree Celsius rise; it enters , so a rise directly increases .
- Base-emitter voltage : decreases with temperature (about 2.5 mV per degree Celsius), which tends to increase .
- Current gain : increases with temperature, again raising . …
