Calculating your Rb Value
Preconditions:
| Precondition | Value |
|---|---|
| Vcc | 12v |
| Vbb | 3.3v |
| NPN BC337 | |
| Vbe(sat) | 1.2v |
| Vce(sat) | 0.7v |
Ic = 12v/155 = 78mA
Ib = Ic/10 = 78/10 = 7.8mA
Vb = 3.3v - Vbe(sat) = 3.3 - 1.2 = 2.1v
Rb = Vb/Ib = 2.1/0.0078 = 269 ohms
Tested with 220 ohms and it worked.
