BJT Output Conductance Calculator

Compute the BJT small-signal output conductance as collector current divided by Early voltage, go = IC / VA. IC is quiescent collector current in mA and VA is Early voltage in V.

Description

Calculate BJT small-signal output conductance from collector current and Early-voltage magnitude.

Compute the BJT small-signal output conductance as collector current divided by Early voltage, go = IC / VA. IC is quiescent collector current in mA and VA is Early voltage in V.

When to use BJT Output Conductance Calculator

  • Calculate BJT small-signal output conductance from collector current and Early-voltage magnitude.
  • Compare fabrication or device scenarios while holding coefficients and unit conventions constant.
  • Check a hand calculation before moving to a higher-fidelity process, circuit, or TCAD model.

How the calculation works

A zero collector current gives zero conductance; otherwise the result is the local dIC/dVCE approximation.

go = IC/VA

Interpreting the result

A zero collector current gives zero conductance; otherwise the result is the local dIC/dVCE approximation.

Assumptions and limitations

  • The compact relation treats VA as an effective magnitude and omits the VCE correction, self-heating, quasi-saturation, and frequency effects.
  • Use parameters measured for the same material, geometry, temperature, and operating regime whenever the result informs engineering work.
