Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a transistor with a threshold voltage of 0.7V and you want to design a circuit for a 1.5V DC output swing, determine the resistor values needed for a stable operation.
💡 Hint: Balance is essential — think about how much voltage you need on either side.
Design an amplifier with a maximum gain of 20 while drawing a 1mA load current. Calculate both the necessary resistor values and the biasing current.
💡 Hint: Think about how gain relates to component values in achieving desired performance.
