Hi, List.

I'm using a Maxim MAX713 battery charger chip, going through the design =
steps outlined in the data sheet.

One of the calcs requires finding the B(sub)o of the pass transistor, =
and calls this the DC current gain.

Why don't they call it H(sub)FE? They state that it should be on the =
data sheet, but I see no parameter with this designation.

BTW, the transistor's a TIP32.

What is it and how do I find it?

TIA,
Mark
