Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Design a common gate amplifier that can maintain a ±5 V output swing while providing a voltage gain of 10. Outline the challenges in maintaining these parameters.
💡 Hint: Consider how changing one component affects the entire system.
If the output swing is capped at ±4 V for a design, explain the implications for the overall system performance if the supply voltage is decreased to 10 V.
💡 Hint: Reflect on what happens when supply voltage decreases.
