Hello! I have a transistor related question, and while I have an idea as to what the correct answer may be, I'd love confirmation / correction.
If I have the following circuit (simplified, obviously):
I can clone the output transistor like this:
(nb: Unlike this link I am not connecting the two outputs together; they are driving independent loads)
My question is: Will I still get the same signal out of output 1 for both setups, or does the fact that I'm splitting the current between the two transistors mean that I will get a smaller signal?
My guess would be that since the transistors are being driven by a (relatively) low impedance signal, the voltage would be the same, and I'd just end up with two outputs instead of one. Am I right?
Thanks!
If I have the following circuit (simplified, obviously):
Rich (BB code):
(pretty low impedance) signal----transistor-----output 1
Rich (BB code):
(pretty low impedance) signal--+-transistor-----output 1

|-transistor-----output 2
