The circuit parameters for the two-transistor current source shown inFigure 10.2(b) are V+=3 V , V−=−3 V , and R1=47 kΩ . The transistor parameters are β=120,VBE(on)=0.7 V , and VA=∞ . Determine IREF,IO , and IB1 .(Ans. IREF=0.1128 mA,IO=0.1109 mA,IB1=0.9243 μA )

The value of IREF , I0 and IB1 .
Answer to Problem 10.1EP
The values are:
IREF= 0.1128 mA
I0 =0.1109 mA
IB1= 0.9242 μA
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given circuit is shown below.
V−=−3VV+= 3V
R1=47 kΩ
β=120
VBE(on)= 0.7 V
Calculation:
VA=∞ (Ideal case)
Apply KVL in input Loop
V+− IREFR1−VBE(on)−V−=0 (1)
From equation,
IREF=V+−VBE(on)−V−R1IREF=3−0.7−(−3)47×1000= 0.1128 mA
From figure,
I0=Ic= Iref1+2βI0= 0.1128 × 10−31+2120= 0.1109 mA
Also, both transistors are identical ( IB1=IB2 ). So,
2Icβ= IB1+IB2 2Icβ=2IB1
So,
IB1= Icβ
IB1= 0.1109×10−3120= 0.9245 μA≈0.923μA

Microelectronics: Circuit Analysis and Design
- You must have noticed that, when a major appliance is turned on (such as an AC unit, garbage disposal, etc.), your house lights dim momentarily. This is the effect of the RL circuit formed by the inductance and resistance of the transmission line and the loads (light bulbs, appliance, etc.) In fact, even a single straight wire has inductance. The inductance (and the resistance) of a long transmission line can be problematic if the system is not properly designed. The voltage on a power transmission line is alternating current but the effect of transmission line can be simulated by a DC circuit as shown below, where R=0.005 2 /km and L=0.04 H/km representing the resistance and inductance of the transmission line per km relationship that is with the ration: L-8 R. In the circuit, Right =160 represents light bulb resistances, R₁ = 7 represents the resistance of a 'major appliance', and the switch indicates when the appliance is turn on.
