The emitter
current of Tr1 is the base current of Tr2.
A change in base
current of Tr1 can give a change 100 times larger in its emitter current.
Therefore there is an overall amplification of 100 x 100 = 10000 times. This circuit is sometimes called the Super Alpha Pair. It is often used as a power output stage. The two transistors
can come in the same package.
