The transistor in the circuit of Fig. 6.14(a) has B= 100 and exhibits ag, of 0.7 V at i,=1 mA. Design the
circuit so that a current of 2 mA flows through the collector and a voltage of +5 V appears at the collector.

Figure 6.14 Circuit for Example 62.Refer to Fig. 6.14(b). We note at the outset that since we are required to design for V,=+5 V. the CBJ
will be reverse biased and the BIT will be operating in the active mode. To obtain a voltage V.=+5 V.
the voltage drop across R, must be 15 — 5 = 10 V. Now, since I, = 2 mA, the value of R, should be
selected according to
Ro 5kQ
2mA
Since vg = 0.7 Vat ip= 1 mA, the value of vpe at ip = 2 mA is
Ver
Since the base is at 0 V, the emitter voltage should be
Vp = -O.71TV
For 8 = 100. @ = 100/101 = 0.99. Thus the emitter current should be
2 mA,
@ 099
Now the valne required for R, can be determined from

This completes the design. We should note, however, that the calculations above were made with a
degree of precision that is usually neither necessary nor justified in practice in view. for instance. of the
expected tolerances of component values, Nevertheless, we chose to do the design precisely in order to
illustrate the various steps involved.In the circuit shown in Fig. E6.13, the voltage at the emitter was measured and found to be
~0.7 V. If 8 =50. find I,. Jp. Ie. and Vo.
