Simple small-signal npn-model

Information

This is a simple small signal model of a npn transistor according to the following equations:

Simplified (linearized) Shockley-equation

Ron*iB = if vBE≤Vth then 0 else (vBE - Vth)

Ebers-Moll-equation

iC = β*iB

For vCE<vBE saturation of iC is taken into account (linearly to 0).

For vCE>vBE the slope of iC is taken into account (Early voltage VY).
