Question 1.
What does a current mirror do?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how it shares current in a circuit.
Question 2.
Define VCE(sat) in a transistor.
Show hintHide hint
Consider it a startup voltage needed for functioning.
3Question 3.
What does a Beta-helper circuit do?
- Reduces input voltage
- Amplifies current
- Decreases output resistance
Show hintHide hint
Focus on how it enhances the performance of the current mirror.
4Question 4.
True or False: A higher output resistance allows the output current to change more with varying voltage.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider how resistance interacts with current flow.
Question 5.
Given a circuit diagram of a current mirror with a Beta-helper, calculate the expected output current if the reference current is 10 mA and β = 100.
Show hintHide hint
Apply the Beta-helper amplification equation.
Question 6.
Discuss the trade-offs involved in designing a current mirror with a Beta-helper versus a basic current mirror and how they influence circuit performance.
Show hintHide hint
Compare electrical properties and performance efficiency.
