Which hybrid-pi parameter follows directly from the collector current?

  • A.The transconductance
  • B.The output resistance seen at the collector
  • C.The base spreading resistance in the device
  • D.The collector-base capacitance of the junction

Answer: A

The transconductance is the collector current divided by the thermal voltage, so it is fixed by the bias alone at about forty millisiemens per milliamp. Output resistance follows from the Early voltage and the current together, base spreading resistance is a bulk property, and the capacitance depends on the collector voltage. A parameter that depends only on the current the designer chose is the most predictable thing in the model, and most gain estimates are built on it.
