Abstract :
To specify the amplifying properties of various active electronic devices the gain-bandwidth product GNB is commonly used. The aim of this paper is to show that for active electronic (not electromagnetic) devices working in switching circuits, another figure of merit (analogous to the reciprocal of the gain-bandwidth product) could be derived from a simple model of an electronic switch.
