Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A BJT operates with a collector voltage of 5V and a base voltage that varies with a small signal of Β±0.2V. Analyze this system using your knowledge of small signal analysis. How would you define the Q-point and linearize around it?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Identify the DC conditions carefully and remember to use derivatives for linearization.

Question 2

If a small signal causes a change in the collector current to be approximately -20mA/V at the operating point, calculate the output voltage swing when the input small signal varies Β±0.1V.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Apply the relationship between input, output, and small signal parameters accurately.
