Transistor has β=50,VBE=0.7V,VCEsat=0.2V. The maximum value of RB upto which BJT remains in saturaion is _______kΩ.
72.88
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A 72.88 From the circuit diagram, VCC−VCEsatRC=ICsat ⇒ICsat=12−0.24=2.95mA ⇒IBmin=ICsatβ=2.9550=0.059mA
For BJT, to operate in saturation region; IB≥IBmin 5−0.7RB≥0.059mA RB≤72.88kΩ RBmax=72.88kΩ
