    Doubts Transistor
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on simulating a circuit involving the Panasonic 2SD2216 transistor in ADS software, specifically for audio signal amplification. The user is facing challenges due to the absence of the 2SD2216 model in the ADS library and is currently using a Q2N2222 transistor as a substitute by adjusting its Hfe value. There is uncertainty about the appropriateness of this substitution, as the 2SD2216 is a darlington transistor, unlike the Q2N2222. The user seeks guidance on whether other transistor models can be used with modified Hfe values and how to create a custom transistor model in ADS. Accurate modeling is crucial for effective circuit simulation and performance analysis.

Hello all,

I have been trying to simulate a circuitry involving a transistor for the microphone line. I believe it was used for amplication of the external audio signal (not too sure, maybe can share the circuit). I am using the ADS to simulate my circuit.

The problem I faced was the transistor model was not in my ADS library and the information I got now is the spec. The transistor is a BJT silicon NPN epitaxial planer type with Hfe = 210 - 340 gain. The p/n is 2SD2216 from panasonic.

I was using Q2N2222 transistor as a replacement by changing the Hfe value and I'm not sure whether I am doing the right thing.

My questions are
whether I can used other transistor model and change the Hfe to represent it?
How do I create my own transistor model in ADS software?

thanks in advance!

Sorry, there was a typo there. I was a 2SD2216 transistor.
 

Thread 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...

Thread 'How Does Jaguar's 1980s V12 Dual Coil Ignition System Enhance Spark Strength?'

I have come across a dual coil ignition system as used by Jaguar on their V12 in the 1980's. It uses two ignition coils with their primary windings wired in parallel. The primary coil has its secondary winding wired to the distributor and then to the spark plugs as is standard practice. However, the auxiliary coil has it secondary winding output sealed off. The purpose of the system was to provide a stronger spark to the plugs, always a difficult task with the very short dwell time of a...
