Multistage (Cascaded) Amplifiers

Learning Objectives

Many performance features of practical amplifiers may not be met with single-stage Amplifiers. Considering the various aspects of single-stage amplifiers, the following aspects of Multistage (Cascaded) Amplifier are discussed:

  • Multistage (Cascaded) Amplifier gain and Bandwidth
  • Advantages of different coupling schemes of Multistage Amplifiers
  • Various schemes of CASCODE Amplifiers
  • Cascading amplifier design to obtain ‘Darlington Pair circuits'
  • Concepts and design aspects of differential amplifiers.
10.1 CONCEPTS OF CASCADED (MULTISTAGE) AMPLIFIERS

10.1.1 Introduction

The gain of a single-stage Amplifier may not be adequate for certain applications and the input and output impedances ...
