BJT Reference Handbook Concepts

The video tutorial covers solving a BJT transconductance problem. It begins with an introduction to the problem, which involves calculating the transconductance GM given a collector current of 2 milliamps and a thermal voltage of 25 millivolts. The instructor advises using a reference handbook for BJT formulas and demonstrates the calculation process, showing that GM is approximately 0.08 amps per volt. The video concludes with encouragement to rely on the handbook for similar problems.

What is the collector current given in the problem?

• 4 milliamps

• 3 milliamps

• 2 milliamps

• 1 milliamp

What is the thermal voltage (VT) assumed in the problem?

• 35 millivolts

• 30 millivolts

• 25 millivolts

• 20 millivolts

Where can you find the reference handbook mentioned in the video?

What is the formula for transconductance (GM) in low frequency small signal analysis?

• GM = IC * VT

• GM = VT / IC

• GM = IC / VT

• GM = IC + VT

What is the value of GM when IC is 2 milliamps and VT is 25 millivolts?

• 0.08 volts per milliamp

• 0.08 milliamps per volt

• 0.08 volts per amp

• 0.08 amps per volt

What should you do if you forget your BJT formulas during an exam?

• Skip the question

• Ask a friend

• Refer to the handbook

• Panic and guess the answer
