Question: This exercise has a 5 V logic output ( the Vter in Figure 1 . 6 ) that can source up to 1 0 m

This exercise has a 5V logic output (the Vter in Figure 1.6) that can source up to 10m A of current without a severe voltage drop and stand a maximum current of 20m A. If the logic terminal sources a current larger than 20m A, it would be damaged. Or, if it sources a current larger than 10m A, the Vter voltage will drop to less than 4V . We should avoid this drop in many cases. However, this logic terminal has to be used to drive an electrical component with an equivalent internal resistance of 5 ohms (the LOAD in Figure 1.6) and requires a current of at least 300m A and not exceeding 500m A to function normally. Given that we have an NPN transistor with the current gain equals 100, the maximum IC current is 400m A, and the barrier potential at the BE junction is VBE =0.7V , select an appropriate value for the resistor RB revealed in the given picture to make the circuit function well.
Thank you so much.
