Figure 2.34 Operating conditions of constant current sink.
Plotting Va=204 V, Ia=0 mA is easy, but we don’t yet know where the other end of the loadline will be. However, we do know a point on the line; we know that Ia=2 mA at the operating point, although we do not know the voltage. It is up to us to choose a voltage, and Va=81 V is a good choice for linearity. Linearity is still important in a CCS because the complete circuit will probably modulate the sink’s anode voltage with an audio signal. If linearity is poor, this indicates non-constant ra, which is part of the term that governs the output resistance of the sink. If the output resistance ...

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.
