Line 306:
The model of a forward biased pn junction having an approximately constant 0.7V is also a much used approximation for transistor base-emitter junction voltage in amplifier design.
 
The piecewise method is similar to the small signal method in that linear network analysis techniques can only be applied if the signal stays within certain bounds. If the signal crosses a discontinuity point then the model is no longer valid for linear analysis purposes. The model does have the advantage over small signal however, in that it is equally applicable to signal and dc bias. These can therefore both be analysed in the same operations and will be linearly superimposable. In a major change in understanding of non-linear devices introduced in the year 2021<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Chakravorty|first=Pragnan|title=A Modified General Diode Equation|url=https://doi.org/10.1109/TCAD.2021.3116456|journal=IEEE Transactions on Computer Aided Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems}}</ref>, piecewise linear and small signal equivalent modeling may non longer be required for most of the nonlinear devices.
