Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A feedback amplifier has a phase crossover frequency of 3 kHz, and the loop gain at this frequency is measured at -9 dB. What is the Gain Margin, and what implications does this have for the design?

💡 Hint: Apply the GM formula.

Challenge 2 Hard

Given a PM of 25 degrees in an amplifier design, outline the steps to increase this margin to an acceptable level, suggesting specific components or techniques that might be employed.

💡 Hint: Reflect on how feedback affects phase.
