Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Design a circuit that cascades two amplifier stages, ensuring an overall gain of 10 while limiting the upper cutoff frequency to 1 MHz. Provide R and C values.
💡 Hint: Remember that cascading can involve trade-offs.
If the first stage has an upper cutoff frequency of 500 kHz, and the second stage has a cutoff of 1 MHz, what is the overall cutoff frequency when both stages are cascading?
💡 Hint: Which stage creates the greater limitation?
