Question

Let β = 25 for the transistor in the circuit shown in Figure P17.37.

(a) For no load, determine the parameters i₁, i_B, i_C , v₁, and v_O when (i) v_I = 0 and (ii) v_I = 1.5 V.

(b) Determine v_I , v₁, i_B, and i_C for the case (i) where the output transistor just begins to conduct and (ii) where the output transistor just goes into saturation.

(c) Assume that N similar type load circuits are connected to the output. Determine the maximum number N such that the output transistor remains in saturation.
