Early effect

Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-001950

The phenomenon in bipolar junction transistors where the effective width of the base region changes with variations in the collector-base voltage. An increase in this voltage causes the depletion region at the collector-base junction to widen, effectively narrowing the base. This alteration in base width influences the current gain and output resistance of the transistor.
