Transistor base Resistor Calculator

Calculator

Vbe

Vce

hFE

First you must check the datasheet of the transistor in question and identify the values Vbe, Vce, and hFE. These values are responsible for enabling transistor saturation. Here the example numbers shown are for the BJT BC548.

RL

Vcc

Vi

The load resistance RL is indicated in ohms, the supply voltage input is indicated as Vcc, and the input trigger voltage is indicated as Vi.

    I observe the characteristics of the BC548 transistor in the transistor comparison table published by the ECA
    The characteristics in your calculations do not match. If you are kind enough to tell me which book you are referring to. I thank

      The above calculator is a standard transistor calculator software, so it cannot be wrong, but I have no idea why and how it may not be matching with your specified comparison table.

    Can you tell me the formula for this calculation?

      R = (base input Voltage – 0.6) / Collector load current

    Glad to see somebody did this. I think it could be expanded to provide most or all of the numbers required for Dual Feedback Transistor Biasing if the right numbers are fed into it. Most of the numbers on https://www.electronics-tutorials.ws/amplifier/transistor-biasing.html for example could be worked out. I think, right now I want to build a preamp, not write a program.

    Vce if bc548 is very low

    If the transistor is bc547 what should be base resistor

      Vce is the saturation voltage (minimum).

      for BC547 you have to only consider the hFe and the RL, rest all can be as it is
