I have enjoyed your videos and especially appreciate the open source text books you have written. Excellent technical writing. Thank you.

[@ElectronicswithProfessorFiore]

Glad to be of help. Take care.

[@mohammadrifatahmed7028]

Very easy explanation.

[@Iosens]

Thank you, Problem with datasheets though: No Early voltage or R0 is specified

[@ElectronicswithProfessorFiore]

If there are collector curves (or if you have a curve tracer), you can determine the Early voltage by inspection. In general, it is not needed for typical circuit analysis (usually just beta sensitivity calcs).
