Why is a wideband amplifier often built from many low-gain stages?

  • A.Low-gain stages have no Miller capacitance at all
  • B.Fewer coupling capacitors are then required
  • C.Each stage's bandwidth is wide at low gain
  • D.The stages' roll-offs cancel one another out

Answer: C

Because gain and bandwidth trade at a roughly constant product, a stage taking little gain is wide, and several of them in series give a large total gain with a bandwidth that shrinks only modestly. Roll-offs compound rather than cancelling, low-gain stages still have Miller capacitance though multiplied less, and the capacitor count rises rather than falling. Distributing a requirement across several stages, each operating where it is efficient, beats demanding everything of one.
