Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Design a common emitter amplifier that maintains distortion levels below a certain limit, considering power dissipation and temperature effects.
💡 Hint: Pay attention to the specifications provided by the transistor manufacturer.
Given that a certain common emitter amplifier has an input resistance of 1.3 kΩ and an output resistance of 3.3 kΩ, calculate the voltage gain assuming a collector current of 5 mA.
💡 Hint: Consider what output resistance you might use in addition to the collector current.
