Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

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.

Challenge 2 Hard

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.
