A stage has \( C_{\mu} = 4 \ \mathrm{pF} \) and a gain of \( -150 \). The Miller capacitance at its input is about

  • A.604 pF
  • B.4 pF
  • C.150 pF
  • D.37 pF

Answer: A

Multiplying by one plus the gain magnitude:

\[ C_{M} = (1+150) \times 4 = 604 \ \mathrm{pF} \]

giving about 604 picofarads, over a hundred times the device's own figure and certain to dominate the input capacitance. Dividing rather than multiplying gives 37 pF, and ignoring the gain leaves 4 pF. The multiplication is why a stage's measured input capacitance bears so little resemblance to its data sheet value.
