What is a cascode amplifier?
Think about the amplifier's stages.
Why is an active load preferred over a passive load?
Remember the role of the load in gain.
What type of load does a cascode amplifier primarily use?
Think about the benefits of an active load.
True or False: The voltage gain of a cascode amplifier can reach very high values.
Recall the gain values discussed.
Design a cascode amplifier with specific parameters: an active load of 10 MΩ and a bias current of 1 mA. Calculate the new voltage gain.
Substitute your values carefully into the formula.
Discuss potential issues with bandwidth in a circuit utilizing a cascode amplifier when aiming for both high gain and high bandwidth.
Think about the relationship between gain and bandwidth discussed in class.
