Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Design a CE amplifier using the cell bias technique to achieve a gain of at least 20, considering the beta variations between 100 to 250. Specify all components and their values.
💡 Hint: Use the voltage divider rule and Ohm's law to balance components.
Given a fixed bias configuration, calculate the impact of temperature variation on beta, assuming beta changes from 100 to 50, and analyze the output characteristics.
💡 Hint: Visualize the output graph before and after beta decline to understand output distortion.
