NPN

Simple BJT according to Ebers-Moll

Information

This information is part of the Modelica Standard Library maintained by the Modelica Association.

This model is a simple model of a bipolar NPN junction transistor according to Ebers-Moll.

Please note: In case of useHeatPort=true the temperature dependence of the electrical behavior is not modelled yet. The parameters are not temperature dependent.

A typical parameter set is:
