MCQ Practice Question

A Widlar current source is especially useful in integrated circuits for generating?

  • ASmall currents using practical resistor values
  • BVery large RF power directly
  • COnly alternating current
  • DA precisely zero output current
Report an error
Correct Answer: A. Small currents using practical resistor values
Explanation: Emitter degeneration in the Widlar arrangement allows currents much smaller than the reference current without requiring impractically large on-chip resistors.
