Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Design a common drain amplifier with a target upper cutoff frequency of 1 kHz and an associated load capacitance. What are the output impedance and resistive values you would calculate?
💡 Hint: Use the relationship between frequency, capacitance, and resistance.
A common collector circuit is required to have a specific voltage gain. If the load capacitance is known, how would you approach finding the necessary transconductance?
💡 Hint: Check how gain relates to resistance and transconductance.
