Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Design a cascading amplifier circuit with a common source and a common drain stage. Given load capacitance of 50 pF, calculate the expected upper cutoff frequency if RD is 2 kΩ.
💡 Hint: You can change the values and test different configurations for better insight.
If the output of the common source amplifier is observed to have a gain of 8 instead of the calculated 6, discuss the potential reasons for this discrepancy.
💡 Hint: You might want to think about all the factors involved in amplifier performance.
