Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Design a cascode amplifier with a given load of 5 MΩ and an optimal gain requirement. Discuss how to best configure your resistive components and the impact on bandwidth.
💡 Hint: Consider how resistance values influence each parameter in your design.
You are tasked with creating two versions of the same amplifier—one with passive biasing and the other with active biasing. Predict the performance metrics for each configuration considering large resistances.
💡 Hint: Think about the stability and adaptability of each configuration in varying conditions.
