Default How does the gain of a transistor go down ... ?


"Arfa Daily has No Idea how STUPID he is,. "


A new pair of matched transistors had the offset down to a few mV, and the
protect circuit was happy with that. But it got me to wondering what could
be the failure mechanism that resulted in a transistor still being a
recognisable transistor in that the tester still saw it as one, and it
still basically worked in the amp, but had a very low gain ?


** Obviously some kind of manufacturing defect in the particular
transistor - thousands of possibilities.

Think - wok too hot, not enough Soy or stale prawns in the chop suey.

Wot a ****ing IDIOT question.
