BC856B Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • The maximum operating temperature range for the BC856B is -55°C to 150°C, although the typical operating range is -40°C to 85°C.

  • Yes, the BC856B can be used as a switch, but it's not recommended due to its relatively low current gain (hFE) and high saturation voltage (VCE(sat)). It's better suited for amplifier applications.

  • The choice of resistor values depends on the specific application and desired operating point. A general rule of thumb is to choose a base resistor (Rb) that limits the base current to 1/10th of the collector current, and a collector resistor (Rc) that sets the desired collector voltage.

  • The BC856B has a transition frequency (fT) of around 100 MHz, making it suitable for low-to-medium frequency applications. However, it may not be the best choice for high-frequency applications (>100 MHz) due to its limited bandwidth and potential for oscillation.

  • Yes, the BC856B can be used in a Darlington pair configuration to increase the current gain and improve the overall performance. However, this will also increase the saturation voltage and reduce the switching speed.
