Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
If a transistor operates with a constant collector voltage of 5V, and the base width is originally 0.5 μm, predict the implications if V_CE is increased to 7V.
💡 Hint: Reflect on how base width changes with voltage.
Design a simple BJT circuit that ensures the collector current does not exceed 10 mA, considering varying V_CE values. Outline the parameters you will monitor.
💡 Hint: Think about how resistors control current flow.
