How to Evaluate Collector Base Capacitance?

Collector Base Capacitance evaluator uses Collector Base Capacitance = Cut-off Frequency in BJT/(8*pi*Maximum Frequency of Oscillations^2*Base Resistance) to evaluate the Collector Base Capacitance, Collector Base Capacitance refers to the capacitance that exists between the collector and the base of a bipolar junction transistor (BJT). This capacitance arises due to the depletion region that forms at the collector-base junction when the transistor is biased in the forward-active mode. Collector Base Capacitance is denoted by Cc symbol.

How to evaluate Collector Base Capacitance using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Collector Base Capacitance, enter Cut-off Frequency in BJT (fco), Maximum Frequency of Oscillations (fm) & Base Resistance (Rb) and hit the calculate button.
