Objective: Design a two-transistor current source to meet a set of specifications.
Specifications: The circuit to be designed has the configuration shown in Figure 10.2(b).Assume that matched transistors are available with parameters V_{B E} (on) = 0.6 V, β = 100, and V_{A} = ∞. The designed output I_{O} is to be 200 µA. The bias voltages are to be V^{+} = 5 V and V^{−} = 0 .
Choices: The circuit will be fabricated as an integrated circuit so that a standard resistor value is not required and matched transistors can be fabricated.
