ECE 322 HW#8

1. The amplifier shown in the figure consists of two identical common-emitter amplifiers connected
in cascade. Observe that the input resistance of the second stage, Rin2, constitutes the load
resistance of the first stage.
(a) For Vcc = 15V, R1 = 100kΩ, R2 = 47kΩ, RE = 3.9kΩ, Rc = 6.8kΩ and β=100, determine the dc
collector current and dc collector voltage of each transistor.
(b) Draw the small-signal equivalent circuit of the entire amplifier and give the values of all its
components.
(c) Find Rin1 and vb1/vsig for Rsig = 5kΩ.
(d) Find Rin2 and vb2/vb1.
(e) For RL = 2kΩ, find vo/vb2.
(f) Find the overall voltage gain vo/vsig.

2. For the emitter-follower circuit shown below, the BJT(NPN) used is specified to have β values in
the range of 50 to 200(a distressing situation for the circuit designer). For the two extreme values
of β (β=50 and β=200), find:
(a) IE, VE and VB
(b) The input resistance RIN
(c) the voltage gain vo/vsig

3. For the emitter follower (PNP) in the figure shown below, the signal source is directly coupled to
the transistor base. If the dc component of vsig is zero, find the dc emitter current. Assume β=100.
Neglecting ro find Rin, the voltage gain vo/vsig, the current gain io/ii and the output resistance Rout.
