So only at .5mA of base current of BC 556, its collector current becomes 3.58mA.
Is this correct? When the micro is emitting low state, 4.3V/10kOhm = 430µA is flowing through the lower 10k resistor. This current divides then into 0.7V/10kOhm = 70µA flowing through the upper 10k resistor and the rest of 430µA - 70µA = 360µA flowing through the base emitter junction. Kai |
