BJT: Modes for Digital Electronics
Cut-Off state: (VCE>0, VBE<0.7V  all currents are very small)
Both diodes are Reverse-Biased ;  transistor equivalent is “OPEN SWITCH”:
Saturation State: (Left non-linear part of IC - F(VCE, IB) curves. IB > ICsat/HFE )
Both diodes are Reverse-Biased;  transistor equivalent is “CLOSED SWITCH”:
More info (and info about Reverse-Active mode) sees in Digital Electronics books
(Mauro, and Millman course). Used in 74** TTL gates.

Results of Simulation:
Mode test:
Inspecting E-B-C Voltages:
VEB < 0  VBE>0  BE diode is Forward-Biased
VCB > 0  CB diode is Reverse-Biased
 Forward-Active Mode
Voltage Gain: (10.06-10.55) /( (-2.8) – (-2.7 ) = +4.9

No sub-division for DC and AC !!!!!
SUPPOSE (and this MUST be CHECKED at the end,
(otherwise we CAN NOT use this model),
that transistor is in Forward-Active state.
First step: REPLACE transistor to its model (Model 2 here):

b = 100 – parameter of the transistor.
VC1 = (100/(1+100))*(5/1)*(2.7-0.7)= 9.900990100 V
VC2 = (100/(1+100))*(5/1)*(2.8-0.7) = 10.39603961 V
“Voltage Gain” = 4.96
DC Test: For Vsignal used, VBE >0 ( VEB<0) , VBC<0 (VCB>0)  Forward-Active Region,
By the way, Vc ~ Vcc/2
RESULT: DC state wasestimated. Voltage/Current Gain was estimated.

Dbe if Forward Biased (open)
 Battery 0.7 V + resistor
Dbc is Reverse Biased (closed)
 No connection  Icr = 0

BJT: Addition to Ebers-Mall Model  Model for AC
Generally, “BASE” is “inside” the transistor, so RBB must be added
(“bad wire” from the B pin to Base junction).
(X point is “real “BASE” )
RBE is practically very small (dynamic resistance of the diode ~ 5 W )
RBB ~ 100W.. 1 kW
For AC Analysis Vbeo must be shorten,
RBE is practically very small ( ~ 5 W ),
so
AC model from here is: ( X  E )

24
BJT: From H to Y parameters
Problem with nodes analysis:
Current IB in current controlled voltage source must be replaced to some voltage.
Ib = Vbe / H11 ;
IC = HFE*IB = (HFE/H11)* (VB - VE)
~ Y parameters Gm ? + Rce
 Q. What is the difference from FET AC model ???
A. Value of “Input resistance”
25
BJT Model: Practical Remarks
Basically Ebers-Moll original model may be (and was) used for
calculations of ALL states of the BJT.
Practically, in Analog Electronics “DC” and “small-signal AC” analyses are used for
Active Region only.
Parameters of full Ebers-Moll Model are parameters evaluated from physical and
geometry properties of the specific BJT.
Parameters of “small-signal AC model” depends on chosen Q-point
 DC parameters != AC parameters
 HFE for DC != Hfe for AC
To distinguish:
hFE - means DC parameters hfe – means AC small-signal parameters
BUT in most “electronics books” “good value” ~ 100 is used as b
as for AC as for DC.
