What happens to a cascade's low-frequency limit as stages are added?

  • A.It is unchanged, being set by the first stage alone
  • B.It becomes the sum of the individual break frequencies
  • C.It rises, because the roll-offs compound
  • D.It falls, because the total capacitance increases

Answer: C

Exactly as at the high end, each stage's low-frequency roll-off adds to the others, so the combined 3 dB point moves upward and the useful band narrows from both sides. Total capacitance is not a meaningful sum here, and the limit is certainly not set by one stage alone. The symmetry between the two ends is worth noticing: compounding narrows the passband at whichever end the roll-offs occur.
