Why is the resulting bandwidth not simply the device's transition frequency?

  • A.The transition frequency applies only at unity gain
  • B.Other capacitances and the load still set their own breaks
  • C.The follower adds a pole of its own below it
  • D.The Miller capacitance cannot be reduced below its value

Answer: B

Removing the dominant limitation reveals the next one - the base-emitter capacitance, the collector load working into stray capacitance, and the follower's own break. The follower does add a pole but well above this range. The Miller capacitance is unchanged, which is the point of attacking the resistance instead. Improving a design means finding the successive dominant limitations in turn, and each one uncovered is progress rather than failure.
