• Unconnected Pins:
  • $\text{Secondary pins: S1 on T1 and S2 on T2}$
  • Transformers typically don't require pull-ups or pull-downs on their secondary pins, as they are passive components and their behavior is determined by the design of the entire circuit.

• All diode pins are connected.

• Unconnected Pin:
  • $\text{Base of Q1: Should be connected, typically via a resistor, to ensure proper biasing}$.
  • $\text{Collector of Q1: Already connected}$.
  • $\text{Emitter of Q1: Unconnected, but typically should be connected to ground or another reference point via a resistor or directly based on design requirements}$.
  • $\text{Emitter of Q2: Already connected in Net 3}$.

• All capacitor pins are connected.

• All resistor pins are connected.

• All voltage source pins are connected.

• Q1: Base should be biased correctly. You can connect the base of Q1 to the emitter of Q2 through a resistor $\left(R_B\right)$ to ensure proper operation. This resistor value can typically be in the range of 1 kΩ to 10 kΩ to limit the base current.
  • Connect $\text{Q1:Base}$ to \text{R_B:1}, and \text{R_B:2} to $\text{Q2:Emitter}$.
• Q1: Emitter should be connected to ground or as specified by your design. This is crucial for the transistor to operate properly.
  • Assuming all connections are valid, we need to connect $\text{Q1:Emitter}$ to $\text{PowerNet1:P1}$.
