Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a common emitter amplifier with a specified output swing of ±5V while maintaining a power dissipation of no more than 50mW. What parameters need to be considered?

💡 Hint: Evaluate how each component influences total power and output swing.

Challenge 2 Hard

Given a transistor with beta = 150, calculate the base current if the collector current is set to 10mA. How does this factor into overall circuit design?

💡 Hint: Think about the relationship between the base and collector currents.
