For the circuit shown in Figure 2, the BJT has β= 160 and VA = 80 V. Assume that VT = 26 mV and that all capacitors are very large.
a) Find the DC values of IB , IC , and VCE .Neglect the Early effect in DC analysis.
b) Find the small-signal parameters gm , r π , re , and ro .
c) Find the small-signal voltage gain of the amplifier, vo/vi .
d) Find the largest allowable signal swing (peak-to-peak) at the collector to satisfy the two conditions: BJT remains active , and vbe limited to 5 mV . What is the corresponding allowable peak-to-peak input voltage vi ?
