Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A differential amplifier has a differential voltage gain (A_d) of 50 with a common-mode gain (A_cm) of 0.02. Calculate the CMRR and discuss its significance.

💡 Hint: Apply the correct formulas and interpret the results in a practical sense.

Challenge 2 Hard

If the input common-mode voltage exceeds the ICMR of ±1V in a given circuit, discuss the potential implications on the output behavior.

💡 Hint: Reflect on the behavior of transistors beyond their active region limits.
