Question: Design the Widlar current source shown in Figure 10.9 such that (I_{text {REF }}=) (2 mathrm{~mA}) and (I_{O}=50 mu mathrm{A}). Let (V^{+}=15 mathrm{~V}) and (V^{-}=0).
Design the Widlar current source shown in Figure 10.9 such that \(I_{\text {REF }}=\) \(2 \mathrm{~mA}\) and \(I_{O}=50 \mu \mathrm{A}\). Let \(V^{+}=15 \mathrm{~V}\) and \(V^{-}=0\). The transistors are matched, and \(V_{B E}=0.7 \mathrm{~V}\) at \(1 \mathrm{~mA}\).
