I_{B_{1}}=\frac{18 V -0.7 V }{2 M \Omega+(140)(180)(75 \Omega)}=\frac{17.3 V }{3.89 \times 10^{6}}=4.45 \mu A

The base Q_2 current is then

I_{B_{2}}=I_{C_{1}}=\beta_{1} I_{B_{1}}=140(4.45 \mu A )=0.623 mA

resulting in a Q_2 collector current of

I_{C_{2}}=\beta_{2} I_{B_{2}}=180(0.623 mA )= 1 1 2 . 1 ~ m A

and the current through R_C is then

Eq. (5.119):

I_{C}=I_{E_{1}}+I_{C_{2}} \approx I_{B_{2}}+I_{C_{2}}                                                       (5.119)

 

I_{C}=I_{E_{1}}+I_{C_{2}}=0.623 mA +112.1 mA \approx I_{C_{2}}=112.1 mA

 

V_{C_{2}}=V_{E_{1}}=18 V -(112.1 mA )(75 \Omega)

= 18 V – 8.41 V

= 9.59 V

V_{B_{1}}=I_{B_{1}} R_{B}=(4.45 \mu A )(2 M \Omega)

= 8.9 V

V_{B C_{1}}=V_{B_{1}}-0.7 V =8.9 V -0.7 V

= 8.2 V
