SOLUTION
Step 1.
Determine CTRCE(SAT), and CTRCB.
From figure 2 the CTRCE(SAT) = 55 %, [NFCE(SAT) = 0.55]
From figure 6 the CTRCB = 0.132 %, [NFCB = 0.55]
Step 2.
Determine RL.
From equation 2 RL = 1.7 k
Select RL = 3.3 k
TABLE 1
IF = 5 mA, VCC = 5 V
RL = 3.3 k
RBE =
RL = 3.3 k
RBE = 220 k

Not only does this circuit offer less pulse distortion, but it also
improves high-temperature switching and common mode
transient rejection while lowering static DC power
dissipation.
