Question

The following transfer characteristic and output characteristic 

curves for an NPN BJT were obtained from a curve tracer. The 

measurements were made at a temperature of 300K.

The transfer characteristic was measured with collector-emitter voltage VCB=12V.

 

The

 base current step size was set to 20μA to obtain the output 

characteristic curves. Thus, the lowest output characteristic curve is for base current IB= 0μA and the highest curve is for base 

current IB= 100μA You can open the images in a new tab to enlarge them.
