D.3.b Enhancement by Means of a Feedback Loop<br />

Let’s consi<strong>de</strong>r the emitter follower illustrated in Figure 208, which is constituted of a<br />

Assuming that collector and emitter currents are equal, the current flowing through the<br />

load RL can be approximated to ie. Hence:<br />

It is also assumed that biasing current flows mainly through T0 and T1.<br />

Then, consi<strong>de</strong>ring a biasing current I, the output can be computed by:<br />
