Assuming the transistor is in its linear operating range, what do we expect the collector current, Ic, to be? With the collector current you determined, what would you expect for the output voltage, Vout, to be (note this is the voltage at the collector, Vc)? Can the transistor be in its linear operating range? In a situation as in (4), the transistor reaches saturation. The voltage between the collector and emitter, VcE, is small, and the collector current, Ic, is limited by Rc, rather than from B and IB. In saturation, what do we expect for the output voltage, Vout? Vcc = 5 V Rc Vout Vin RB Figure 11.4 A simple binary switch
