Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
If the cutoff frequency increased from 530 kHz to 4.24 MHz after cascading, what factors contributed to this change?
💡 Hint: Examine both stages' contributions to bandwidth.
Given a common source amplifier with transconductance of 2 mA/V and a load resistance of 5 kΩ, calculate the gain and compare it with an output stage of a common drain with a capping gain of 1.
💡 Hint: Use the defined gain formulas for each configuration.
