Exercise 1: Find the amplifier parameters of the circuit below. (Si BJT with β = 200, VA = 150 V, ignore Early effect in bias calculations).
This is a common collector amplifier (emitter follower) . o Input at the base, output at the emitter.
It has a emitter-degeneration bias with a voltage divider.
When Rsig & vsig are not given, it implies that vsig = vi and Rsig = 0

Exercise 8: Design a common emitter amplifier with RE with vo / vi = 5 when driving a 100 kΩ load and a bias point of IC = 4 mA and VCE = 6 V. The circuit should have a cut-off frequency of 50~Hz for Rsig = 100 Ω. A 16 V power supply is available. Use a Si BJT with β = 200, β min = 100, VA = 150 V, ignore Early effect in bias calculations.
Prototype of the circuit is shown.
Problem specification gives
We should find RC , RE , RB1 , RB2 , Cc1 , and Cc2

Solution can be simplified by noting RC + RE = 2.5k and thus RC < 2.5k: 1) Since RC << RL = 100 k, then RC || RL ≈ RC 2) Since RC << ro = 37.5 k, we can drop the 3rd term in the denominator of the gain formula:

1. Bias point (IC = 4 mA & VCE = 6 V) and requirements of good bias give RB1 and RB2 through BE-KVL. However, it is easier to find RB and VBB (Thevenin equivalent) first.
2. Resistors RB1 and RB2 are found from:

Exercise 8 (Cont’d):
Coupling capacitors Cc1 and Cc2 are found from specification of cut-off frequency (50 Hz). We need to compute Ri and Ro first.
Can choose either capacitor and compute the other one. A good design guideline is to keep capacitors small.

Exercise 9: Find the amplifier parameters of the circuit below. (Si BJT with β = 200, VA = 150 V, ignore Early effect in bias calculations).
This is a two-stage amplifier. o Stage 1 is a common emitter amplifier with RE o Stage 2 is a common collector amplifier (emitter follower).
Both stages have source-degeneration bias with a voltage divider. o Each stage is independently biased because of the 470 nF
coupling capacitor between stages.
