Try these first

1. 1.

   What is the typical function of a Common Source Amplifier?

   Hint

   Think about what amplifiers generally do.

2. 2.

   What parameter indicates an amplifier's gain?

   Hint

   It is a comparison between input and output voltage.

3. 3.

   What is the primary function of a Common Source amplifier?

   • Current isolation
   • Voltage amplification
   • Signal modulation

   Hint

   Think about the definition of amplification.

4. 4.

   True or False: A Common Drain amplifier decreases input resistance.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider the typical role of buffer stages.

5. 5.

   Given two pins on a schematic: a CS and a CD connecting to an output, derive the equivalent total bandwidth with provided parameters.

   Hint

   Evaluate both individual contributions to the frequency.

6. 6.

   Design a multi-stage amplifier with specified parameters for gain and resistance, explain expected theoretical results.

   Hint

   Break down the design in sections to keep each component's role in mind.
