Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You have a cascode amplifier with a bias resistor of 4 MΩ and a total effective capacitance of 600 pF. Assess how these values impact the expected bandwidth and suggest solutions to alleviate high resistance impacts.
💡 Hint: Revisit your understanding of the relationship between resistance, capacitance, and frequency.
In a cascode amplifier, if the gain can surge up to a million due to configuration changes, delineate the potential drawbacks on input capacitance and overall bandwidth.
💡 Hint: Think about the trade-offs discussed in class regarding gain vs. frequency response.
