// calculate saturation current and cutoff voltage // Electronic Principles // By Albert Malvino , David Bates // Seventh Edition // The McGraw-Hill Companies // Example 7-4, page 229 clear;clc; close; // Given data Vcc=15;// collector supply voltage in volts Rc=3*10^3;// collector resistance in ohms // Calculations Icsat=Vcc/Rc;// saturation current in amperes Vcecutoff=Vcc;// cutoff voltage in volts disp("Amperes",Icsat,"Saturation Current") disp("Volts",Vcecutoff,"cutoff voltage") // Result // saturation current is 5 mAmperes // cutoff voltage is 15 Volts
