Hello all:
A bipolar current mirror with beta helper is aiways used.
Sometimes I can see that a resistor is connected between the common base node and the ground. But in classic books ,such as gray and meyer's book,there is no resistor fron the common base node and the ground.
I want to know what is the resistor used for?
My second question is : in BICOMS process,can the beta hepler bjt be replaced by a mos transistor?
