Hi,
I'm pretty new to the forum. So I hope I posted on the right channel.
I want to ask about the measurement condition that is put next to transistor parameter. I have BC846A from NXP. The datasheet can be downloaded from **broken link removed**.
The datasheet said that hFE group A is typically 180, under measurement condition VCE=5V;Ic=10uA. And hFE is 110-450 under measurement condition VCE=5V;Ic=2mA. The datasheet also has hFE vs Ic graph, which is taken under condition that VCE=5V.
My question is if I'm using BC846A for audio signal, and its VCE is less than 5V, can I expect to have hFE as specified in the datasheet ?
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
-daniel
