BJT Device Models
• The primary function of a model is to predict the
behaviour of a device in particular operating region.
• Small-signal models
– Hybrid (h) Parameter Model
– Hybrid-pi model
• Large-signal models
– Ebers–Moll model: Voltage & current control model
– Gummel–Poon model : charge-control model
Ebers–Moll Model
• The classic mathematical model for the bipolar junction transistor
is the Ebers-Moll model formulated by J. J. Ebers and J. L. Moll
from Bell Laboratories in the early 1954.
• Ebers-Moll model also known as “Coupled Diode Model”
• The Ebers-Moll model provides an alternative view or
representation of the voltage-current equation model.
• Model includes configurationally series resistances, depletion
capacitances and the charge carrier effects.
Ebers – Moll model Designing
• Ebers–Moll model for pnp
transistor involves two ideal
diodes placed back to back
with saturation current
• Ieo & Ico and two current
dependent controlled sources
shunting the ideal diodes. Transistor currents and Voltages direction
•
Ebers – Moll model Parameters
• General expression for collector current IC of a transistor for any
voltage across collector junction Vc and emitter current IE is
IC = -αN IN – ICO (e VC / VT – 1)
• Subscript N to α indicates that we are using transistor in a normal
manner.
• When we interchange the role of emitter and collector we operate
transistor in a inverted function. In such case current and junction
voltage relationship for transistor is given by
IE = - αI IC – IEO (e vE / VT – 1)
• Subscript I to α indicates that we are using transistor in a inverted
manner, αI is the inverted common – base current Gain.

Where IES represents the reverse saturation current of the base-emitter diode.

Equation (5)
This model contains four parameters, IES, ICS, αF , and αR. From the
definitions of IES and ICS, we can obtain the important auxiliary relation
Equation (6)
which shows that there are only three independent parameters in the Ebers-Moll
model, just as in the transport formulation. The base current, given by iB = iE − iC, is
