Engineering What is the Iout calculation for a BJT circuit with infinite gain?

AI Thread Summary
To calculate Iout in a BJT circuit with infinite gain, it is established that IB for each BJT is zero, leading to IC equaling IE. The BJT exponential transfer characteristic equation, Ic = Is * e^(VBE/Vt), is essential for determining Iout. The process involves calculating VBE for each BJT sequentially, starting with I1 to find VBE1, then using I2 for VBE2, and so forth until VBE4 is obtained. Finally, Iout is computed as ic4. This method effectively utilizes the exponential relationship to derive the output current.

Hi!
Here is my task:
Calculate Iout if all BJT's have identical characteristics with β→∞, work on same temperature in forward active mode. Use BJT exponential transfer characteristic.

Since β→∞, IB for every BJT should be zero amps and IC=IE. Equation for BJT exponential transfer characteristic is Ic=Is*e^(VBE/Vt) but I don't know how to use it in order to find Iout. Any idea? Iout should be I1*I2/I3.

Using ic1 = is exp(Vbe1/VT), compute Vbe1. Note ic1 = I1.
Then using I2, compute Vbe2.
Etc. until you get to Vbe4. Finally, compute ic4 = Iout.
 
Done. Thanks a lot!
