Analysis for a p-n-p transistor with VBEon = 0.7V, VCEsat = 0.3V and +3V
iE = iB + iC
β = 100. RC =10000 RE =1000 RB = 7500 1k0
vE = Vx
As the device is in saturation we know that the blob of solder iE = (3 - Vx)/1k0
model holds and so to a first approximation vE=vB=vC=Vx. e ON
iB = Vx /7k5
+0V Q2 Linear
So iE = (3-Vx)/RE; iC = (Vx -(-15))/RC; Vx/RB; and iE = iC + iB; 7k5 vB = Vx b
c
(3-Vx)/RE = (Vx + 15))/RC + Vx/RB so vC = Vx iC = (Vx +15)/10k
RCRB(3-Vx)=RERB(Vx+15)+RERC Vx 10k

3RCRB - 15RERB = (RERB + RERC +RCRB)Vx -15V

Vx = (3RCRB - 15RERB)/(RERB + RERC +RCRB) = 1.22V. The voltage must be between 0 and 3V and not
negative for the transistor to be on. All three terminals are at the same voltage in the “blob of solder”
model. The current are: iE = 1.78 mA; iC =1.62 mA; 0.163 mA;
The forced beta under these conditions is iC /iB = 10.13 so the transistor is well into saturation.
The value of RB that just creates the onset of saturation or linear operation is for iB = 16.20 µA;
Therefore RB = Vx /iB = 75308.64 or 75k.

vC = 1.22 V vB = 1.22 V vE = 1.22 V

iC = 1.62 mA iB = 0.163 mA iE = 1.78 mA

βforced = 10.1 RB = 75k
