Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a current mirror circuit to deliver a 2 mA output current with a reference voltage of 15V and a reference resistor chosen from standard E12 series resistors.

💡 Hint: Start with calculating the voltage after taking into account the base-emitter voltage drop.

Question 2

If the Early voltage (VA) of the transistors in your current mirror is determined to be 100V, how would you explain the impact of this value on the output resistance Rout?

💡 Hint: Consider how VA plays a role in output stability.
