Transistor Amplifier Circuits Unit 6 – Transistor Specification Sheet
Exercise 1 – Transistor Parameters Familiarization
EXERCISE OBJECTIVE
When you have completed this exercise, you will be familiar with several transistor parameter
symbols. You will verify your knowledge with a list of common transistor parameter symbols
and meanings.
DISCUSSION
- Several frequently used transistor parameter symbols and their meanings are presented to the
students. - The symbols are composed of letters which appear in the name or definition of the parameter.
- Capital letter subscripts are sometimes used to denote dc or maximum values.
- Lower case subscript letters usually represent ac (dynamic, rms, or instantaneous) values.
- Terminal junctions are indicated by subscripts in the abbreviation of the parameter.
