CHAPTER 12
Transistor Equivalent Circuits
Don't be perturbed if you find this chapter tougher than any of the
others, especially the second
half,
from Sec. 12.7 onward. It is
tougher! The first half should be persevered with, and if you then
feel the need for some relief you may be glad to know that a complete
grasp of the second half is not essential to understanding the rest of
the book. At a first approach it should be enough to study Figs.
12.14,
16, 18 and 19.
12.1 The Equivalent Current Generator
When we attempted, in Sec. 10.9, to get to grips with the leading
transistor parameters on the lines that worked so well and simply
with valves ...
