Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

For a precision current mirror configured with BJTs and an early voltage of 100V, calculate the expected output current if the reference current is 0.5 mA and the beta values for the transistors are 150 and 75.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Factor the beta changes when calculating the output.

Question 2

Derive the relationship between output resistance and the lambda effect in MOSFET current mirrors under circuit voltage variations.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use linear approximations to understand how changes in V affect I.
