What is saturation collector current?

Saturation, as the name might imply, is where the base current has increased well beyond the point that the emitter-base junction is forward biased. In fact, the base current has increased beyond the point where it can cause the collector current flow to increase.

How to Calculate Collector Current using Saturation Current?

Collector Current using Saturation Current calculator uses Collector Current = Saturation Current*e^(Base-Emitter Voltage*[Charge-e]/([BoltZ]*300)) to calculate the Collector Current, Collector current using saturation current is the direct current that passes through the collector at the saturation region. The collector current in a PNP transistor is carried by majority carriers (i.e., electrons) that flow from the collector region towards the emitter region. Collector Current is denoted by I_c symbol.

How to calculate Collector Current using Saturation Current using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Collector Current using Saturation Current, enter Saturation Current (I_sat) & Base-Emitter Voltage (V_BE) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Collector Current using Saturation Current calculation can be explained with given input values -> 5.5E+89 = 0.001675*e^(5.15*[Charge-e]/([BoltZ]*300)).

FAQ

What is Collector Current using Saturation Current?

Collector current using saturation current is the direct current that passes through the collector at the saturation region. The collector current in a PNP transistor is carried by majority carriers (i.e., electrons) that flow from the collector region towards the emitter region and is represented as I_c = I_sat*e^(V_BE*[Charge-e]/([BoltZ]*300)) or Collector Current = Saturation Current*e^(Base-Emitter Voltage*[Charge-e]/([BoltZ]*300)). Saturation Current is the diode leakage current density in the absence of light. It is an important parameter which differentiates one diode from another & Base-Emitter Voltage is the forward voltage between the base and emitter of the transistor.

How to calculate Collector Current using Saturation Current?

Collector current using saturation current is the direct current that passes through the collector at the saturation region. The collector current in a PNP transistor is carried by majority carriers (i.e., electrons) that flow from the collector region towards the emitter region is calculated using Collector Current = Saturation Current*e^(Base-Emitter Voltage*[Charge-e]/([BoltZ]*300)). To calculate Collector Current using Saturation Current, you need Saturation Current (I_sat) & Base-Emitter Voltage (V_BE). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Saturation Current & Base-Emitter Voltage and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.

How many ways are there to calculate Collector Current?

In this formula, Collector Current uses Saturation Current & Base-Emitter Voltage. We can use 3 other way(s) to calculate the same, which is/are as follows -

Collector Current = Saturation Current*e^(Base-Emitter Voltage/Thermal Voltage)-Saturation Current for DC*e^(Base-Collector Voltage/Thermal Voltage)
Collector Current = (Base Current*Common Emitter Current Gain)+Collector Emitter Leakage Current
