Information

The NPNth element of the bond graph library implements the Ebers-Moll model of a NPN bipolar transistor with temperature variation. The substrate is not shown on the icon layer, as it is assumed grounded. The transistor is assumed to be vertically diffused, as the substrate is connected to the collector, rather than to the base.

The NPNth bipolar heating transistor is a directed FourPort. The direction of positive power flow is assumed into the model at the base, B, and at the collector, C, whereas it is assumed out of the model at the emitter, E, and at the heat port, Heat.

The causality of the NPNth model is relatively free. However, if there is a causality stroke placed at the collector from the outside, the substrate capacitor will assume differential causality.
