Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a BJT differential amplifier's saturation voltage at VCE(sat) = 0.2V, design a practical range for ICMR using power supplies of +/- 12V and determine acceptable input voltages.

💡 Hint: Remember to factor in the saturation voltage and the acceptable quiescent conditions.

Question 2

Analyze how the input common mode range affects the linearity of an op-amp in a real-world circuit.

💡 Hint: Explore the consequences of exceeding the defined ICMR limits.
