The parameters of the transistors in the circuit in Figure are βF ≡ β = 25 and βR = 0.1.
(a) Determine the values of i1, i2, i3, v1, and vO for (i) vI = 0.1 V and (ii) vI = 2.5 V.
(b) Determine the values of vI and v1 at the point (i) where Q0 just begins to conduct and (ii) where Q0 just goes into saturation.
