Statement I: The Miller effect worsens as a stage's voltage gain rises.

Statement II: The Miller effect worsens as a stage's source impedance rises.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer.

  • A.Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
  • B.Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
  • C.Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
  • D.Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct

Answer: A

Both are true, though for different reasons: a higher gain multiplies the capacitance more, and a higher source impedance makes the resulting break frequency lower for the same capacitance. The two combine, which is why a high-gain stage driven from a high impedance is the worst case and why the remedies attack either the gain, as in a cascode, or the drive impedance, as with a preceding follower.
