Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Design a CE amplifier circuit to achieve a specific gain of 50. Provide the resistor values needed for bias stability and describe your design choices.
💡 Hint: Use the gain formula to backtrack from your output requirements.
Assuming you have two cascaded CE amplifiers, the first with a gain of 200 and the second with a gain of 300. Calculate the overall gain and explain the loading effects of the resistances in this configuration.
💡 Hint: Consider each stage as a source that must effectively communicate its output to the next stage.
