Consider the following circuit, where the transistors are similar Si transistors. Given I1 = 2mA, I2 = 1μA, Vcc = 12 V, find R1 and R2.(a) R1 = 10kΩ, R2 = 6kΩ(b) R1 = 5.6kΩ, R2 = 20kΩ(c) R1 =18kΩ, R2 = any value(d) R1 = 18kΩ, R2 = 5.6kΩI had been asked this question by my college director while I was bunking the class.I want to ask this question from Transistor Bias Configuration topic in division Transistor Biasing and Low Frequencies of Analog Circuits

Answer»

The CORRECT answer is (d) R1 = 18kΩ, R2 = 5.6kΩ

Explanation: R2 = (Vcc – VBE)/I1 = (12 – 0.7)/2M = 5.65 kΩ – Using KVL

Also, I2*R1 = VT ln(I1/I2) = 0.026 * ln(2)

Thus, R1 = 0.026*ln(2)/1μ = 18 kΩ.
