Hey I was wondering for the circuit I have here if I am doing the transistor analysis correctly. I am finding the base current to be 4.3/330 ~= 13mA, and the collector current, because the bjt is in saturation, the current through the collector is 5-Vce(sat ~=.3V) - Vf(~2V)/330 ~= 8.2mA? Can this happen in a circuit, or is my analysis incorrect?
The picture is pretty poor, but essentially the base of the PNP transistor is connected to a 330ohm resistor and ground, the collector is connected to a 7seg display, which is connected to a 330ohm resistor aswell, and the emitter is just connected to the Vcc rail which is 5V. Thank you for any help.
