Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Design an amplifier circuit using active load principles and calculate the expected gain and output resistance without and with a bypass capacitor. Highlight the differences.
💡 Hint: Consider resistive paths and transistor parameters.
If an amplifier without feedback achieves a gain of 40 and one with negative feedback is expected to drop to 20, discuss the potential role of an active load in recovering some of that lost gain.
💡 Hint: Evaluate the circuit configurations critically related to feedback.
