Question 1

What effect does the cascode configuration have on Miller effect?

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider how cascode design aims to mitigate certain effects.

Question 2

How is the overall voltage gain in a cascaded amplifier calculated?

  • AV(total) = AV1 + AV2
  • AV(total) = AV1 - AV2
  • AV(total) = AV1 × AV2
  • AV(total) = AV1 / AV2

💡 Hint: Think about combining effects in series versus parallel.
