Transistor current souce, negative supply - Click HERE for Original Thread

Stupid question but

if you want a current source on a negative power rail say -5v do you need a PNP or NPN transistor to do this?

basically I want to emulate a PNP transistor current source on the +5v rail..

Thanks for your help

Hi Zodiac

You need a NPN!
