Abstract
A current divider apportions current applied to the interconnected emitters of a pair of current-dividing transistors as their respective emitter currents in a ratio dependent upon the voltage applied between their bases. A first diode means and a resistor are connected in a series connection, which series connection is in parallel connection with a second diode means. Current is applied to this parallel connection in a poling to forward-bias the first and second diode means which exhibit a difference in offset potentials across said resistor. A voltage directly related to this difference is applied between the bases of the pair of current-dividing transistors to determine the ratio of their emitter currents.
