Pspice Modeling of BJT curve Ib vs Vbe
Aug 05th, 2005, 12:56pm
 
Now I have setup my circuit as follows. There is a current source at the base with step curent of 200mA and then a resistor of 1 G ohm is connected . So how do i measure for getting Ib vs Vbe curve . I am getting a linear curve having a slope of 1 when i run the probe for Ib vs V: Q1(b) (ie ) voltage across Base and emitter.
Since the Base emitter junction is acting like a diode it should give me a flat curve for voltage less than threshold voltage and then at the voltage when the diode turns on it should give a vertical straight line high current at that threshold voltage.
So can u advice where i am doing wrong or can u refer to someone who could help me out.

A step current of 200mA?  Could be that's too large, and the junction current is linearized to avoid blowing up the exponential.

If at first you do succeed, STOP, raise your standards, and stop wasting your time.
