ABSTRACT:
A circuit is provided for reducing the output impedance of an emitter-follower transistor in which a positive feedback voltage proportional to the collector current of the emitter-follower transistor is provided to the base of the emitter-follower transistor when the emitter-follower transistor supplies current to a load. The circuit includes a resistor-ratioed current source which provides collector current to the emitter-follower transistor and which forces a current through a resistor connected to the base of the output transistor in proportion to the collector current.
