Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a differential amplifier with the following specifications: desired differential gain of 200, CMRR_dB of 80, and input common mode range of 10V. Provide calculations for each parameter.

💡 Hint: Use each specified performance metric to guide your calculations.

Question 2

Given that a BJT-based amplifier has a tail current of 100uA and an RC of 100 kOhms, calculate the differential gain and determine if it can achieve a target of 150.

💡 Hint: Make sure to calculate Ic and not confuse it with I_tail.
