Hi. In a bipolar transistor, VCE, being saturated, should it have a value near 0.7v (like live diodes) or other voltage?
I was simulating in proteus, isis, a circuit that uses npn's BD433 and it gives me that tension.
In the component datasheet there is a VCE (sat) graph based on Ic and at 2A that voltage should be 0.2v.
It turns out that in the datasheet, vce (sat) also says:
Typ 0.2v
Max 0.7v
Will the simulator have the maximum voltage 0.7 charged instead of VCE (sat) based on Ic? Or is there something I did not understand?
Possibly so, we should see what circuit and how you polarized the transistor but remember something very important Proteus and specifically Isis, is just a simulator and nothing more. Reality is sometimes something totally different.
Simulators are invaluable tools for the development of logic and software testing of microcontrollers but in the analogue part and in some schemes, it is only an approximation to reality.
Ready, thanks, I better get the components to be sure. I'll keep that in mind for the next one, I wanted to be sure it wasn't a conceptual error of mine.
Here you have a curve of this transistor given by a manufacturer, -for your device in particular-.
Considers that a logarithmic scale is being used, the transistor can handle up to 4 [A], therefore, for 2 [A] the Vsat is in the order of 200 [mV].
Diego.
Regarding the first paragraph of your question.
Indeed, the direct voltage VF at the PN junction of a silicon diode is approximately 0.7 volts. The transistors are composed of two junctions or diodes, BE and BC, the collector-emitter is NOT a diode, therefore the saturation voltage VCE (sat) can be 0.2 and when the current rises the voltage rises according to the manufacturer's instructions.
