  35. From the equations Lundstrom: Fall 2019

  36. Summary Good transistor bias circuits make use of negative feedback to deal with variations in beta. For IC design, we don’t use the 4-resistor bias circuit because high value resistors are “expensive”. Instead, we make use of transistors, because they are cheap. Lundstrom: Fall 2019
