Question # 1:
The emitter follower of Fig. must be designed for
an input capacitance of less than 50 fF. If C μ = 10
fF, Cπ = 100fF, VA = ∞, and IC = 1 mA, what is
the minimum tolerable value of RL?

Question # 2:
Due to manufacturing error, a parasitic resistor Rp
has appeared in the cascode stage. Assuming λ = 0
and using Miller’s theorem, determine the poles of
the circuit

Question # 3:
a student constructs the stage but mistakenly
uses an NMOS device for M3. Assuming λ = 0
and using Miller’s theorem, compute the poles
of the
circuit.
