ICEO is the reverse leakage current in the common-emitter configuration of BJT when the base is open.
ICBO is the reverse leakage current in the common-base configuration of BJT when the emitter is open.
Also, ICEO > ICBO
And they are related by the relation:
ICEO = (1 + β) ICBO
Total collector current is given by:
IC = βIB + ICBO(β + 1)
Application:
Given:
ICEO = 410 μA, ICBO = 5 μA and IB = 30 μA
ICEO = (1 + β) ICBO
410 = (β + 1)5
β = 81
Now,
IC = βIB + ICBO(β + 1)
= (81 x 30 + 410)μA
= 2.84 mA
