Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Design a differential amplifier circuit that can operate within an ICMR of +1V to +5V with a supply voltage of +6V. Specify the components you would use.
💡 Hint: Think about how resistor values can affect input voltages.
Given a differential amplifier setup that outputs a maximum voltage of +12V and a minimum of +2V, calculate the maximum output signal swing and discuss the implications of this swing on amplifier design.
💡 Hint: Reflect on how this swing affects the load you might put on the amplifier.
