Calculating BJT Dynamic Parameters with Charge Control Equations

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on calculating BJT dynamic parameters such as fall time, rise time, saturation time, and final rise time using charge control equations. The Gummel-Poon model is highlighted as a critical resource for understanding junction capacitance and its role in these calculations. The user expresses a need for comprehensive examples and problems, indicating that existing texts like "Microelectronic Circuit Design" by Jaeger and Neamen lack sufficient detail. Additionally, the importance of circuit topology and input pulse waveform parameters in determining digital parameters is emphasized.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of BJT operation and characteristics
  • Familiarity with charge control equations
  • Knowledge of the Gummel-Poon model

Hi!

Can anyone recommend a text that goes through calculation in fall time, rise time, saturation time and final rise time thoroughly with some examples provided?

I've looked through microelectronic circuit design by Jaeger / Neamen, they briefly mention the concept at best but do not have any examples nor problems that I can work on.

edit: I'm looking for a discussion on how to calculate these numbers by using charge control equations. For example, the delay time can be calculated from relating the average current and the equivalent capacitance in the junction.

Thank you!

If you want just charge control, review Gummel-Poon model derivations that include the junction capacitance.

Be aware this isn't enough to know any of these digital parameters: circuit topology and input pulse waveform parameters are equal contributors.
