If you are designing a CE amplifier with an active load and need a collector current of 5mA with a supply voltage of 15V. Calculate the required Beta if R_B is 1.5MΩ.
💡 Hint: Consider knowing V_BE(on) for your transistors.
Given two BJTs in an active load configuration, if their Beta values are 150 and 300 respectively, how would you bias them to achieve equal collector currents of 10mA?
💡 Hint: Use the principle of ensuring collector currents are equivalent while adjusting base widths.
