Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a basic BJT current mirror for an output current of 2 mA using a reference current of 1 mA. What base resistive element would you need if powered by a 5V supply, with V_BE = 0.7V?

💡 Hint: Consider the voltage drop across the reference transistor and its required current.

Question 2

How would you expect the output current of a BJT current mirror to behave if the temperature increases significantly?

💡 Hint: Think about how temperature affects both the transistors and their operating points.
