Bipolar transistor simplest models

[Patrick Chung]

Even though mechanisms that makes bipolar transistor run are quite complicated and there are many side effect to be covered, simple analysis is possible with two simple models: one for active regime, when we use one independent voltage source to model base-emitter p-n junction and one current controlled current source to model collector-emitter junction. Another is model of bipolar transistor that takes only two independent voltage sources. Read more.
