STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Reference Current = (1+2/Transistor Current Gain^2)*Output Current
Iref = (1+2/β^2)*Io
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Reference Current - (Measured in Ampere) - A reference current is just a stable source of current that does not fluctuate over temperature, supply voltages or loads.
Transistor Current Gain - Transistor current gain is highly influenced by two factors: the width of the base region, W, and the relative dopings of the base region and the emitter region.
Output Current - (Measured in Ampere) - Output Current is the current the amplifier draws from the signal source.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Transistor Current Gain: 2 --> No Conversion Required
Output Current: 5 Milliampere --> 0.005 Ampere (Check conversion here)
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
