NOTE ON TRANSISTOR APPLICATIONS
T E Lommasson · 1955
It i s well known that at low levels of DC emitter current, the common base AC s h ort circuit current gain of a transistor decreases considerably.This paper points out where this effect may be of importanc~ and derives approximate first order quant itative expressions which describe the circuit effects of this low level phenomenon.Applications of these data to practical "starved base" circuits, particularly silicon transistor circuitry, are developed.Case No. 435.01
