2. A circuit that can provide a very large voltage gain for a high-resistance load for the Fig.
shown below. Find the values of I and RB to bias the BJT at IC =1 mA and VC = 1.5 V. Let
β=100.
3. The circuit shown below provides a constant current IO as long as the circuit to which the
collector is connected maintains the BJT in the active mode. Show that
4. For the circuit shown below, assuming all transistors to be identical with β infinite, derive
an expression for the output current IO, and show that by selecting
R1 = R2
and keeping the current in each junction the same, the current IO will be
𝑉𝐶𝐶
𝐼0 =

which is independent of VBE. What must the relationship of RE to R1 and R2 be? For VCC =10
V and VBE =0.7 V, design the circuit to obtain an output current of 0.5 mA. What is the lowest
voltage that can be applied to the collector of Q3?
5. For the circuit shown below find the value of R that will result in I0 ≃0.5 mA. What is the
largest voltage that can be applied to the collector? Assume |𝑉𝐵𝐸 | = 0.7 𝑉.
