What is a cascode amplifier?
Think about what stacking transistors accomplishes.
Name the two types of transistors used in cascode amplifiers?
Recall the types of transistors discussed.
What is the main advantage of a cascode amplifier?
Think about what features are improved when using two transistors.
True or False: Both BJT and MOSFET can be used in a cascode configuration.
Have we discussed only one type of transistor for cascode?
Design a cascode amplifier using specific BJTs with given parameters. Calculate the expected voltage gain and input capacitance based on provided values.
Start by writing down all known values and use formulas from our earlier examples to guide your calculations.
Compare the performance of a cascode amplifier to a common emitter amplifier with equivalent transistors. What aspects should be evaluated?
Refer to key performance metrics discussed in class and apply the values during your comparison.
