Ideally, for non linear operation, a transistor should be biased so that the Q-point is ________(a) near saturation(b) near cut off(c) where Icis maximum(d) halfway between cut off and saturationThis question was posed to me in a job interview.Origin of the question is Input Bias and Offset Currents of the Bipolar Differential Amplifier in chapter Differential and Multistage Amplifiers of Electronic Devices & Circuits

Answer»

Correct option is (d) halfway between cut off and saturation

The best I can explain: If Q-point is NEAR to saturation then positive clipping of input SIGNAL, and to cutoff then negative clipping of input signal, if IC is maximum then Q-point is in saturation region. Linear operation means OUTPUT varies according to input without any DISTORTION.
