Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
You have a current mirror circuit that suffers from significant base current loss, resulting in an output that's 20% lower than expected. If the reference current is set at 1.2mA, how can introducing a Beta-Helper improve the situation? Provide calculations.
π‘ Hint: Evaluate how beta affects the fraction of the current going into the base.
Question 2
How would you adjust a current mirror design that currently has an early voltage of 30V to achieve a more stable current output? What are the implications on design choices?
π‘ Hint: Consider the relationship between early voltage and the transistor's physical characteristics.
