    The document summarizes an experiment on current sources and current mirrors. It introduces the concepts of DC biasing of a current source and measuring its output resistance. It also examines the operation of a current mirror by measuring the AC collector currents and voltages across different components to calculate the small signal output resistance, comparing the measured and calculated values.

    Experiment 2 Current Sources and Current Mirrors

    Introduction:

    DC Biasing: The potentiometer increases, output current of the current source decreases. Emitter and collector voltage for the transistor in CE amplifier is -6V. //Is the BJT in the forward active region? Confirm by calculation that the measured collector voltage is consistent with a current 1mA flowing through the 4.7k ohms collector resistor Emitter voltage is approximately -0.7V is because the voltage drop in BJT. Output voltage of the current source is 0.926V. //Is the BJT in the current source in the forward active region?

    Current Source Output Resistance: 1k potentiometer changed the output voltage from the current source to 1.98V. Increased the value settings until we reached 1k on the potentiometer and plotted the output current versus collectoremitter voltage.

    //The reciprocal of the slope of this curve is the output resistance of the current source. Analyse the circuit to calculate the output resistance and compare this value with your measure value. Data on the transistor is given in the LM3086 data sheet.

    Current Mirror Operation:

    AC collector current flowing through link F is 0.128 mA (rms). AC voltage difference between 16 and 3 as below:

    //the small signal output resistance can be calculated from:

    //Calculate the expected output resistance of the current mirror using data from the 2N3638 data sheet.

    AC collector current across link G is 0.0495 mA (rms). AC voltage difference between 16 and 4 as below:

    //the small signal output resistance can be calculated from:

    //compare measurement result with calculated value.
