Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Design a Common Emitter Amplifier that compensates for temperature effects on beta. Suggest an alternative biasing scheme that enhances stability.
💡 Hint: Think about how feedback could help in maintaining the operating point.
Given a BJT with a beta of 100, calculate the input and output signals if the AC input voltage is 20mV. What would be the output voltage, assuming Vcc is 12V and appropriate resistances are in place?
💡 Hint: Ensure to derive input-output relationships based on small signal approximations.
