Good video. The level was a little above what I know to understand fully, but I can tell that your explanation was very good. I hope to be able to understand this better.
Glad it's helpful! Of course Is is so insanely temperature-dependent that you won't get the same answer the _next_ time you work it out from measurements, but pretty soon, we'll be getting into circuits that compensate for that (generally by having a second matched transistor and arranging for the thermal changes to cancel out).
@@KludgesFromKevinsCave Looking forward to it. You know what I haven't seen? I've never seen anyone talk about the perfect transistor (as per Horowitz and Hill). I think that would be interesting to explore in practice or to study - you know, is it as perfect as it looks on paper?
@@Stelios.Posantzis I don't know if I'll necessarily get to diamond transistors, but other OTA's (Operational Transconductance Amplifiers) are definitely planned!

Very nice examples! Working out Is and η from measurements is not something we often see and it is very useful for gaining intuition.
