BJT Base-Emitter Reverse Breakdown Supported?

Hello,

Is it possible to create a simulation model in CircuitLab for a BJT Base-Emitter reverse breakdown? I've experimented with a very basic circuit and several NPN transistors, but have not been successful. If it is supported, it'd be great to see a circuit that works so I can figure out what is wrong with mine.

Thanks for any info,

Mike

Yes, CircuitLab allows you to simulate BJT behavior, but it might not directly support reverse breakdown in the base-emitter junction as part of its default models. You can still simulate the transistor's behavior by applying reverse bias and observing the current flow, but to accurately model reverse breakdown, you may need to adjust certain parameters manually.

For more detailed simulations, you could try using specialized software like LTspice, which offers more control over breakdown conditions.

Additionally, storing your simulation files and related resources in Terabox Mod might help keep your work organized.
