Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Explain the impact of increasing input capacitance on the bandwidth of a cascode amplifier in comparison to a common-emitter amplifier. What precautions would you take to maximize performance?

💡 Hint: Think about the inverse relationship between capacitance and bandwidth.

Question 2

For a cascode amplifier where the total input capacitance is 20 pF, and output resistance is 50 kΩ, calculate the cutoff frequency. How can you ensure this frequency meets system requirements?

💡 Hint: Use the formula for frequency cutoff based on RC time constant.
