I thought this one would be easy, but it turned out to be quite challenging and, in some ways, a bit of a failure. The current gain of a bipolar junction transistor (when the emitter is the common terminal bet...en-USTelligent Community 12https://community.element14.com/members-area/personalblogs/b/blog/posts/transistors-current-gain-beta-or-hfeFri, 24 Mar 2017 18:44:50 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:b04e6612-2e45-400c-b9e1-8e934b7b04c7DAB0<p>Nice post.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Every test provides valuable information.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What you perceive as a failure is a very informative revelation about the need to understand what these parameters mean and how they were created.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Your test confirms the basic numbers, but more importantly, it shows how delicate a circuit configuration can be to the environment in which it is used.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>On a personal note, you experiment confirms some of the issues I have been seeing as I apply my new atomic model to the structure of the semiconductor material.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So keep up with these posts.&nbsp; I for one find them very informative.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks</p><p>DAB</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=2737&AppID=293&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
