Question

Consider the circuit shown in the figure below.



Assume that all the transistors are perfectly matched with finite gain an early voltage VA= and β=25. If the current flowing through the resistance R1 is equal to 10 mA. then the value of load current IL, is approximately equal to______mA.

Solution


Applying KCL at base of transistor T3.

I=IC1+IB3

IB3=IE3β+1

IE3=IB1+IB2

All the transistors are matched and

β1=β2=β3=β

IC1=IC2=βIB2 (VBE1=VBE2

and IB1=IB2

Thus, we have,

IE3=2IB2

So, IB3=2IB2β+1

Thus, I=IC1+2IB2β+1=IC2+2IC2β(β+1)

IL=IC2=11+2β(β+1)

IL=10 mA1+225×26=9.97 mA thus IL=9.97 mA
