(20 pts) 3. The following circuit is used to detect if a battery is still delivering vBat=9 V. It uses two transistors
working as switches, a Zener diode of 5.1 V, and two LEDs as indicators. If the battery under tests
delivers around 9 V, then transistor 2 is ON (saturated) and green LED turns ON, while transistor 1 and
red LED are OFF. If the battery delivers less than 7 V, then transistor 2 and green LED are OFF, while
transistor 1 and red LED are ON. In either case, the
minimum current to turn ON a LED is 12 mA. As shown Under Green vF1 Red vF2
test 3.2V 2V
in the figure, the green LED absorbs 3 volts during turn vZ
on, while the red LED only requires 1.8 V. Moreover, if RC1 RC2

a LED receives a (positive) current smaller than the vBat
