Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given the small signal model parameters of a BJT with g_m = 3 mS and r_pi = 2 kΩ, calculate the output voltage gain if the load resistance is 1 kΩ.

💡 Hint: Remember to calculate the parallel resistance first.

Challenge 2 Hard

A BJT amplifier exhibits a transconductance of 5 mS at an operating point of 10V and 20 µA. How does altering the operating point to 15V affect the transconductance if all other factors remain constant?

💡 Hint: Consult the I-V characteristics of the BJT to evaluate changes.
