Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a differential amplifier with a specified common mode input range. Calculate the appropriate resistor values to maintain the operating point within specific limits.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use the relationship of voltage drops across resistors tied to expected currents.

Question 2

In a configuration where the input threshold is known, derive the maximum allowable input voltage to prevent transistors from entering saturation.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Balance all voltages and consider individual device saturation thresholds.
