breakdown voltage, collector-emitter, base open (V(BR)CEO) (formerly BVCEO):
The breakdown voltage between the collector and emitter terminals when the collector terminal is biased in the reverse direction* with respect to the emitter terminal, and the base terminal is, respectively,
- open-circuited.
- short-circuited to the emitter terminal.
- returned to the emitter terminal through a specified circuit.
- returned to the emitter terminal through a specified resistance.
- returned to the emitter terminal through a specified voltage.
*For these parameters, the collector terminal is considered to be biased in the reverse direction when it is made positive for npn transistors or negative for pnp transistors with respect to the emitter terminal.
