Mat12 PN V/I characteristics Why Measure result not Match theory?

In my applaction I use 4 PNP (two dobule match pair Mat12 and other DI4-0992 )  logarithm Amp Make an circute to make mass dynamic scale.  

We measure V/I datas and check what it is, to get sum input output relationship equrion. like this 

Change R5 10G 1G 100M ... and record Amp Output Voltage . Use Q1 as Mat12 and Other kind DI4-0992 .After I polyfit these data I/V I get this

I have two question  1) in theroy PN heat voltaty Vt=k*T/q  so different NPN Vt should just with Temp but I get one 26mV one 30mV .

2) Is Mat12 or same NPN pair Datasheet have Is (反向漏电流)  and Vt(热电压) parameter?

  • Hi,

    1) Theoretically that is correct, value of Vt is dependent of temp. Different NPN is expected to have different Vbe and Is instead.

    Do you have the datasheet for DI4-0992?

    2) For Mat12, Vt is presented in page9 of the datasheet. When computed at T=25degC, Vt = 25.696134mV or approximately 26mV.

    Also, Is can be computed, for example, look at Fig. 7 for value of Vbe at a certain Ic, Vbe = 0.39 at Ic = 1uA and given already is Vt = 26mV.

    Is = Ic/[e^(Vbe/Vt)-1] = 1e-6/[e^(0.39/26e-3)-1] = 3.06e-13
