Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a BJT current mirror for an application requiring IREF = 5 mA. Calculate the values for RREF if VCC = 12V and assume VBE = 0.7V.

💡 Hint: Remember to use the standard VBE when calculating RREF.

Question 2

Describe how the base current error will affect IOUT when IREF is set at 3 mA with base currents of 0.02 mA. Calculate IOUT.

💡 Hint: Make sure to account for the error by factoring in the base currents.
