BC547 datasheet, what is this graph used for?
I have recently started studying BJTs with an hands-on approach.
I am trying to make a simple switch by working in the cut-off and saturation regions and, while the equations seem quite clear to me ...

Non-linearity in presumably "linear" resistors
Summary. While investigating loudspeakers non-linearity, I found non-linear effects in the 0.1 Ohm resistors I used as current sensors. It turns out that self-made copper wire and metal film resistors ...

General IV relationship for a diode
The Schockley diode equation \$ I_{d} = I_{s}(e^{\frac{V_{d}}{nV_{t}}}-1) \$ describes the IV relationship of a diode for voltages above the reverse breakdown voltage, however it doesn't describe the ...

Constant DC voltage without the need of external power source [closed]
I have been playing around to see if I could create a RC circuit which would never need recharging. A RC circuit (with the capacitor precharged and a RC constant of 1) has a response of \$Ke^{-t}\$. ...

Convergence of common-emitter amplifier non-linear model with Early effect
I'm trying to make a spreadsheet that calculates lots of things about a common-emitter amplifier, in one point I try to make a convergence to know values without using a simulator. I had success with ...

What happens with low pull-up voltages for the LM393 comparator?
Consider the LM393 comparator: https://www.ti.com/product/LM393
As far as I understand the output is basically the collector of an NPN transistor, with the emitter tied to ground. Consider it with the ...

Why use 1D simplification to derive semiconductor device behavior? [closed]
My knowledge is at an undergraduate level, I would appreciate it if your reply were mindful of that. It seems like even at prestigious universities, like MIT, Caltech, semiconductor device behaviour ...

How to solve a non-linear equation in a state space model
So I'm trying to model a four wheeled robot that is controlled by the difference in speeds between both sides of the wheels.
I have 3 state variables:
Sway velocity, yaw rate and yaw angle ...

How do I calculate the current of non linear inductor L1 with multiple AC voltage source and 1 current source not connected directly to the circuit
I know I have to transform all the source into 1 equal source, but cannot figure out how to. Superposition clearly did not work with a non linear circuit. All the stats is in the picture.
Here is what ...

How does the capacitance of non‐polarized or bipolar electrolytic capacitors depend on DC bias voltage?
If two identical electrolytic capacitors are connected in reverse series, then at sufficiently low voltage, they should effectively behave as two simple capacitors, which leads to a reduction in ...

Can 3rd order intercept point be used to extrapolate the power of 3rd harmonic or 3rd order intermodulation distortion at an arbitrary input power?
I'm trying to understand how to interpret 3rd Order Intercept (OIP3) specifications, and whether or not I can use them to extrapolate performances characteristics, other than just as a measure of ...
