Transistor Biasing Calculator

Voltage-divider bias Q-point estimation

How to Use This Calculator

Enter supply voltage, resistor values, estimated β and Vbe. The tool computes approximate Q-point using Thevenin base network.

Formula

Vth = VCC · R2/(R1+R2), Rth = (R1‖R2)

IB ≈ (Vth − VBE)/(Rth + (β+1)RE)

IC = βIB, VCE = VCC − ICRC − IERE

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is this?

It is a first-order DC estimate. Temperature and β variation are not modeled.

Does it support PNP?

Not explicitly. You can mirror signs conceptually; this tool targets NPN.
