So I have a simple circuit in LTSpice that is supposed to plot Vce vs Ic for a single Ib.
I used the 2N222A which has a forward gain of 200 and the base current is set using a current source of 100u. So, the collector current should be 20mA except it is not. It is 19mA. This only gets worse if I increase the base current. For example, a base current of 1mA, should yield 200mA. According to the datasheet the maximum collector current is 800mA. However, the sim shows roughly 137mA.
What gives?
