    Ebers-Moll Model

    (Developed by Ebers and Moll in 1954)

    Also called the Coupled Diode Model

    Two diodes: The EB and CB diode

    o Charge distribution in the Base:

    o Under Normaloperation (Subscript N), it is pC= 0

    Using pC= 0 and the results of the last chapter, we have:

    EEN paI ECN pbI (1)

    o UnderInvertedoperation (Subscript I), it is 0E p

    Using pE= 0 and the results of the last chapter, we have:

    CEI pbI CCI paI (2)

    The superposition of normaloperation currents and invertedoperation currents

    yields two equations (Eqs. 7 and 10) valid for anyoperating condition.

    o The four currents IEN, IEI, ICN, and ICIcan also be written in the following way:

    1e1e /CS/ESNCICNC CBEB kTeVkTeV IIIII (16)

    these are the Ebers-Moll Equations

    o Ebers-Moll Equations have general validity

    (Normal and Inverted operation)

    o

    Eq. (15): Emitter currentFirst term: Diode equation (EB)

    Second term: A current controlled by CB diode

    o Eq. (16): Collector current

    First term: A current controlled by EB diode

    Second term: Diode equation (CB)

    We can construct an equivalent circuit from the Ebers-Moll Equations

    o Ebers-Moll equivalent circuit for alloperating conditions:

    o Ebers-Moll equivalent circuit for normaloperating conditions:

    CB diode is reverse biased 0'C I

    Ebers-Moll equivalent circuit is the bridge between internal device physics and

    electronic circuits.
