Repeat problem 4.1 including the effects of nonzero base currents? Repeat problem 4.1: Determine the output current
Question:
Repeat problem 4.1:
Determine the output current and output resistance of the bipolar current mirror shown in Fig. 4.55. Find the output current if Vout = 1 V, 5 V, and 30 V. Ignore the effects of nonzero base currents. Compare your answer with a SPICE simulation.
Figure 4.55: Circuit for Problem 4.1
Use the high-voltage device parameters given Fig. 2.30 and Fig. 2.35, useless otherwise specified. Assume that rb = 0 and rµ in all problems. Assume all bipolar transistors operate in the forward-active region, and neglect base currents in bias calculations unless otherwise specified.
