Abstract :
An alternative scheme to transistor thermal stabilization by emitter resistor ballasting is proposed. The technique involves a resistor with a negative temperature coefficient of resistance connected across the emitter-base junction which bypasses excess base current that tends to be drawn due to local transistor heating.
