Rise and fall time calculations of junction transistors

Expressions for rise and fall time calculations of junction transistors are derived based on the charge controlled model. In solving the differential equation of the charge controlled model, a new approach is taken and exact solutions are obtained. Comparison of the experimental results of the rise and fall time measurements with the theoretical prediction, using the measured transistor parameters, shows very good agreement.
