4. (a) Design a suitable current source that generates a small output current of 25 µA without having
to use very large resistors (1MSQ and greater). You are given two matched NPN transistors, and a
13V power supply. The parameters of the transistors are: VBE = 0.7V at Ic = 3mA, VA = 80V, VT =
25mV, and B = 50. Draw the circuit, and show all relevant calculations. Neglect base currents
when designing.
(b) Find the change in the output current for a +2V change in the output voltage (Vo).
