For a PNP Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) emitter follower set by a trimpot voltage divider.
- Trimpot sets the voltage to the PNP Bipolar Junction Transistor Base terminal.
- Emitter voltage is approx. 0.6V higher than the voltage set at the base.
- Vcc minus Emitter voltage is across the 10k resistor and the load. The 10k resistor may not be needed, but some loads will throw off the voltage without it.
