A common base amplifier has an input current of 2 mA and an output current of 1.8 mA. Calculate the current gain and discuss whether the circuit performs well as a buffer.
💡 Hint: Consider the impact of the gain on circuit performance and its effectiveness in buffering.
Design a common base circuit to amplify a current signal from a sensor that outputs 500 µA. If you need at least a factor of 5 gain, what should the output current be, and why might this configuration work well?
💡 Hint: Reflect on how gain plays a role in the application of signal processing and amplification.
