collector current in a sentence
Examples
- In practice, due to device mismatches the collector currents are unequal and this results in the difference flowing into the buffer's input resulting in an offset at its output.
- There is a full ( 100 % ) negative feedback; the two input base voltages and the emitter voltage change simultaneously while the collector currents and the total current do not change.
- The transition frequency is a function of the collector current, increasing with increasing current until a broad maximum at a collector current slightly less than what causes the onset of high injection.
- The transition frequency is a function of the collector current, increasing with increasing current until a broad maximum at a collector current slightly less than what causes the onset of high injection.
- Initially, current begins to flow through the resistor, secondary winding, and base-emitter junction ( see diagram ) which causes the transistor to begin conducting collector current through the primary winding.
- Hence, when it reaches a critical collector current, the base drive available becomes insufficient and the transistor starts to pinch off and the previously described positive feedback action occurs turning it hard off.
- If the voltage difference between the collector and emitter were zero ( or near zero ), the collector current would be limited only by the load resistance ( light bulb ) and the supply voltage.
- For translinear circuits, in which the exponential I V curve is key to the operation, the transistors are usually modeled as voltage-controlled current sources whose transconductance is proportional to their collector current.
- Note, however, that each additional right-half transistor " steals " a bit of collector current from Q 1 due to the non-zero base currents of the right-half transistors.
- Replacements for the 2N2222 are commonly available now in the cheaper TO-92 packaging, where it is known as the PN2222 or P2N2222, which has similar specifications except for the lower maximum collector current.
