If the reference and collector current are 0.539mA and 0.49mA respectively, how many transistors are used in current repeater circuit? (Assume β =150)

(a) 11

(b) 14

(c) 10

(d) 8

I have been asked this question in an online interview.

This interesting question is from Operational Amplifier Internal Circuit in division Operational Amplifier of Linear Integrated Circuits

Right choice is (b) 14

Discover the easiest explanation: The current equation is given as  IC= Iref×β/(β+1+N)

⇒ 0.49mA= 0.539mA×150/(150+1+N)

⇒ N=14.
