Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A current mirror using N-channel MOSFETs has a reference current of 1 mA and a supply voltage of 15V. If K1 = 2 mA/VΒ² and K2 = 8 mA/VΒ², calculate the current output and the minimum voltage for transistor 2.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Don't forget to take the threshold voltage into account.

Question 2

For a BJT current mirror with beta values of 150, discuss how the output current would vary if the base current loss is significant. How would you mitigate this in a design?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Refer to the concepts we've discussed about current loss.
